Organic Rainbow Carrots
Roasted with Toasted Sesame Oil
Splash of Tamari
Miso Butter with Ginger and Garlic
Sesame Seed Garnish
Who could pass up these beauties at the market?
Looking for a holiday side dish? Something colorful, tasty, not too complicated, unique, not too rich, that complements a variety of foods? Try roasted rainbow carrots with miso butter!
Preheat oven to 350°. Peel the carrots. Toss lightly with toasted sesame oil. Roast on a sheet pan or oven-proof dish in a single layer. (I found it is best to roast the purple carrots in a separate pan to keep the color from bleeding onto the other carrots).
Miso butter:
- 1 stick softened butter (I used Challenge Butter)
- 2 – 3 T. white miso (depending on saltiness)
- 1 1/2 t. garlic minced
- 1 1/2 t. fresh ginger minced
Mix all ingredients in the small bowl of a food processor. You can make the miso butter ahead of time and keep it on hand. It is great on vegetables, fish, noodles, and oh, please try it on a grilled rib-eye steak!
Melt some of your miso butter in a saucepan.
When the carrots are al dente, after about 25 minutes or so, remove from oven, add a splash of low-sodium tamari. Arrange on a platter. Then drizzle with melted miso butter, and finish with a black and white sesame seed garnish. This side dish has the lovely depth of umami flavor yet is not too heavy.
A Chance To Win
Last month, the folks at Challenge Butter sent me an email: “We are running a sweepstakes for a chance to win a 7-day/6-night vacation to the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Montana. It’s sure to brighten some spirits!” The sweepstakes runs through December 31st.
I purchase Challenge butter all the time. Happy to endorse their excellent product.
Bonne chance mon ami!

You're right Lori, I would never have been able to pass these by in the market. With the miso butter, they must have been heavenly on the taste buds too!!!
I love this recipe! I have not come across those lovely carrots, but will try this recipe with regular ones. Thanks. I'm going to make that miso-butter today and keep it in the fridge.
Those are almost too pretty to eat! *almost*
Mother Nature and you outdid yourself! Those carrots are sytunning. Trying the miso butter tomorrow – and trying it with Challenge. So pretty and festive. So delicious.
These are so pretty! What a perfect holiday side dish.
