Roasted Carrots

Ingredients:

  • 25 lbs Carrots, raw, bias cut
  • 1 cup Oil, vegetable
  • 2 tbsp Salt, kosher
  • 2 tbsp Spice, pepper, black, coarse

Steps:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss carrots with oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread in even layer on sheet pans.
  3. Take care not to overcrowd pans, this will cause the carrots to steam rather than roast.

  4. Place carrots in 400°F oven and roast until caramelized and browned-approximately 12-14 minutes.
  5. Cook to 135°F or higher.

  6. Place roasted carrots in 2-inch or 4-inch half hotel pans or 4-inch skinny long pans for service.
  7. Hot hold, uncovered, for service.
  8. Hold at 135°F or above.

    Roasted carrots should be batched cooked throughout service for quality.
