Baked gratin carrots, here’s how to prepare them
Even though the recipe is very simple, here are some small suggestions for obtaining truly perfect carrots au gratin with parmesan and honey:
- Cutting carrots: Try to cut the carrots as evenly as possible. Then try to obtain large pieces that are more or less the same. This way the carrots will cook well, without some being cooked and others still being hard.
- The cheese: I opted for parmesan but if you love strong flavours, the gratin carrots are also delicious with grated pecorino romano. In this case the contrast between the flavor of the cheese and the sweetness of the honey will be even stronger!
- Honey: it is not essential, if you don’t like it you can omit it. However, you should know that you don’t taste much of him. In fact, it is only used to create a light glaze on gratin carrots. I used wildflower honey.
- Cooking: I recommend cooking them in the middle position of the oven. In this way, being halfway, they will cook well both on the bottom and on the top.
I think I’ve told you everything, all you have to do is preheat the oven and prepare these delicious gratin carrots. I’m curious to know if you too will be surprised by their original taste and by that irresistible crust that is created around them!
