Description

Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Burrata and Pomegranate is a vibrant and delicious side dish featuring sweet, tender rainbow carrots roasted with butter, honey, and a hint of cinnamon, then topped with creamy burrata cheese and juicy pomegranate arils for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 2 pounds rainbow carrots, peeled

Roasting Mixture

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons honey (preferably orange blossom)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • Burrata cheese, pinched into small pieces
  • 1 pomegranate, arils removed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for roasting the carrots perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Honey Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the honey and the optional ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Coat the Carrots: Immediately toss the peeled rainbow carrots in the warm honey butter mixture to coat them evenly, ensuring each carrot is well covered with the flavorful glaze.
  4. Season and Arrange: Place the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper to taste to enhance their natural sweetness.
  5. Roast the Carrots: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip them over to ensure even cooking. Continue roasting for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and cooked through.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the roasted carrots to a serving platter. Sprinkle the pinched pieces of burrata cheese evenly over the top, followed by the fresh pomegranate arils for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Using orange blossom honey adds a subtle citrus hint, complementing the sweetness of the carrots.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  • Optional cinnamon enhances the warmth and complexity but can be omitted if desired.
  • Make sure the burrata cheese is at room temperature for best texture and taste.
