Roasted carrots with vanilla butter

Vanilla beans or vanilla powder · 4 people as a side · 35 min

Vanilla brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots. Goes well with fish, chicken and pork.

Ingredients

  • 600 g carrots, ideally in several colours
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt
  • 50 g butter
  • ½ vanilla bean or ½ tsp vanilla powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • A little lemon juice and fresh thyme

Method

  1. Halve the carrots lengthways, toss in oil and salt, and roast at 200 °C for 25–30 minutes.
  2. Melt the butter with the vanilla seeds or powder and the honey.
  3. Toss the hot carrots in the vanilla butter and finish with lemon and thyme.

Tip: use the whole bean. A scraped vanilla bean still has plenty of flavour. Put it in a jar of sugar, and after a couple of weeks you have your own vanilla sugar.
