Spicy Roast Carrots with Ground Cherries
The earthy sweetness of the ground cherries plays well against the spice of the glazed carrots and slight bitterness of the coco nibs.
Ingredients
1 bunch carrots
1 pt ground cherries
2 T coco nibs
1 T srirachia
1/4 C jam (I like peach, raspberry, apricot, or anything like it avoid grape)
3 sprigs oregano
Method
- Heat oven to 400F
- Clean and cut the carrots in half or in 2” lengths
- Toss the carrots in a glug of neutral oil, pinch of salt, and pepper
- Roast until the carrots are tender
- Blend the srirachia and jam
- Glaze carrots and return to the oven to caramelize
- Unsheath ground cherries
- Transfer carrots to a platter
- Top with ground cherries
- Sprinkle with coco nibs and oregano leaves and serve
