Heirloom Carrots Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Roasting Heirloom Carrots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the heirloom carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Making Buttermilk Aioli

    In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Preparing Parsnip

    Boil the sliced parsnip in salted water until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Carrot Top Tuille

    Blend the carrot tops with water, flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Spread thinly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until crisp.

  5. 5

    Plating the Dish

    On a plate, place a smear of parsnip puree, arrange the roasted heirloom carrots on top, drizzle with olive jam, and add a dollop of buttermilk aioli. Garnish with carrot top tuilles.
