This simple way to cook carrots is one of the most popular vegetable dishes we make at work. The smell and taste is great with the addition of the sesame oil.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 kg fresh, peeled carrot
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, tossed in a dry pan over a medium heat until golden
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the carrots in 3 pieces, then each piece in half.
  2. 2
    I would cut the chunky end into 4 if it was very big.
  3. 3
    Place in a baking tray and roll in the 2 tablespoons of oil.
  4. 4
    Cover and bake for 40 minutes in a moderate oven.
  5. 5
    Remove the cover and sprinkle over the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. 6
    Return uncovered to the oven for 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve sprinkled with the toasted sesame seeds.

I made these the other night and it had mixed reviews. Half my family like the sesame flavor with the carrots and half just thought they were OK. They all dissappeared from the table but they weren't their favorite. I'm still glad I tried them ( I was on the liked them side). thank you for posting.

    These weren't bad, but I don't know that I'd make again. If I do, I'll pan-roast them on the stove. We weren't all that thrilled with the sesame/carrot flavor combination. Maybe some ginger would make a nice addition. Also, cooking for for the specified time in a 350 degree oven made these carrots too soft and mushy for our tastes.

    Jan, these carrots were delightful! I made them exactly as directed as per your instructions and they came out perfectly. I served them with Miss Annie's Crockpot Chicken and Herb Dumplings, Strawberry Coconut Muffins and they proved to be the perfect side dish. Thank you so much for posting a this recipe! I am always looking for a new way to prepare carrots, and you have delivered just that!
