Burnt Carrots with Brie


When I was a child, I was not a fan of cooked carrots.  I guess it was a kid thing, because now........... I love carrots!

These carrots, are absolutely amazing, like you died and went to heaven!
The best part is they are super easy to make.

They have a really great balance between the sweetness, spiciness, and richness of the cheese, and the  acidity of the lemon juice, keeps everything in harmony!

As Always,
ENJOY!
4 medium carrots, cut into 4-by-½-inch sticks
2 tablespoons peanut oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 ounces triple-cream Brie (rind removed), roughly chopped
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the broiler to 500°. In a medium bowl, toss the carrots with the peanut oil and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and spread the carrots out into a single layer. Cook until the tops of the carrots are well charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Immediately, add the Brie, honey and lemon juice to the bowl with the carrots, and toss to combine. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the Brie to melt, then toss to incorporate. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots to a platter, leaving any liquid behind. Serve immediately.
