Glazed Stovetop Carrots

Making glazed carrots on the stove is something I started doing several years ago for lavish special event dinners like Christmas when the (one and only) oven is otherwise occupied with more important things. Like

Browned Brussels With Maple Butter From 'Choosing Sides'

Brussels sprouts are a given on my Thanksgiving table, but I don't always give them much thought. Olive oil, salt, and a hot oven are my only requirements. While this method does produce pleasantly caramelized sprouts, it doesn't add much excitement to the table. This year, I'll take a cue from Tara Mataraza Desmond and toss my Brussels in brown butter and maple syrup as she does in her new cookbook, Choosing Sides.

Roasted Root Vegetables

Classic Roasted Root Vegetables are a simple, hearty dish that brings out the natural flavors of carrots, parsnips, turnips, sweet potatoes, and more. The perfect side for any fall or winter meal.

Glazed Winter Vegetable Medley With Chestnuts and Caper Berries From 'Feast'

The final savory chapter in Sarah Copeland's new cookbook, Feast, focuses on a few larger, celebration-sized meals. These recipes take a bit longer to prepare than those in the rest of the book, requiring more attention to detail, but they're worth the time—think paella, vegetable tagine, and silky (bread crumb-free) eggplant parmesan. Her glazed winter vegetable medley is the centerpiece of the chapter.

Honey-Balsamic Roasted Carrots From 'The Glorious Vegetables of Italy'

Carrots are tossed in a potent mixture of olive oil, balsamic, and honey before throwing them in a hot oven until they've turned spotty brown and just barely tender. The floral honey complements the natural sweetness of the carrots, and then the balsamic adds zip to keep the sugar in check. If you use a honey and a balsamic with character, you won't regret it—the carrots are more like a provocative dessert you get to eat for dinner.

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

Glazed Carrots made with brown sugar or honey, then roasted so you get the most amazing caramelised edges and toffee-like glaze! Quick, easy carrot side.

Dinner Tonight: Garlic-Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Parsnips

If you buy split chicken breasts with the bone in and skin still on, they can be wonderfully flavorful, especially in recipes like this one from Jennifer Rubell's Real Life Entertaining where they're roasted with carrots, parsnips, and two entire heads of garlic. The chicken-y juices and fat from the skin give the vegetables incredible flavor, while the garlic aroma permeates the entire dish.

Lemon-Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Crispy Potatoes

Lemon and rosemary chicken creates a flavorful pan juice to spoon over roasted carrots and crunchy roasted russet potatoes.

Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs With Butternut Squash and Carrots
