Ingredients for Bacon N Onion Carrots For Two

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Bacon N Onion Carrots For Two

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, toss carrots with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 2 teaspoons of bacon drippings.
  5. Add sliced onions to the skillet with bacon drippings and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in brown sugar and cook until melted and slightly caramelized.
  7. Add the roasted carrots to the skillet with the onion mixture, tossing to combine.
  8. Roast carrots for 15-18 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  9. Remove from oven and crumble cooked bacon over the carrots.
  10. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
