“Cooking the carrots whole and unpeeled gives them a more natural look,” says Nick Stanton of Leonardo’s Pizza Palace in Melbourne. “The texture is better, and the skin hold more of the flavour in. Cook with the honey until sweet, glossy and tender.”

Ingredients

Method

1.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add carrots and fry, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown (18-20 minutes). Add butter and ginger, reduce heat to medium, and cook until carrots are tender and butter is reduced (10 minutes; reduce heat to low if butter is starting to burn). Add honey and cook, tossing occasionally, until carrots are glazed (5 minutes).
2.Scatter carrots with herbs, top with a good spoonful of sour cream, and serve drizzled with oil and topped with freshly ground pepper.
