There’s nothing I love more than an at-home recipe that makes me feel like I’m dining out. These crispy, oven-roasted carrots are delicious and perfect for entertaining. They may look fancy, and they might make your friends say, “Wow, you are SO talented and good at cooking,” but I can assure you they are quite simple to make. The garnishes are what make them look gourmet.
This recipe calls for miso paste, which I bought at a local Japanese grocery store. You might be able to find it in the refrigerated section at a Whole Foods or Sprouts, but I cannot guarantee it. Miso provides a delicious umami flavor to these roasted carrots. It is savory, salty, and delightful.
To top this bad boy off, I added crushed pistachios for a nice crunch and fresh parsley solely for pizazz.
