Honey Maple Roasted Carrots

Honey Maple Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced on a long angle into pieces approximately 3 inches long
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoon honey
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives
½ cup pomegranate arils or seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450˚F. Lightly oil a sheet pan.
Place carrots on prepared pan and drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup and honey. Sprinkle with coriander, sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat (I like to use my hands for this to get them well coated, but a spatula will work too). Spread carrots out on pan in a single layer.
Roast for 10 minutes, then stir to redistribute. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Carrots are finished when they are tender and some of the edges are caramelized.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and herbs over carrots and stir. Taste and season with a bit more sea salt and pepper, if needed.Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter with the pomegranate arils. Serve hot.

Extra Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients

1. 2 pounds chicken wings (tips removed, separated into wingettes and drumettes)
2. 1 Tbsp BAKING POWDER (whatever you do, do NOT use baking soda)
3. 1-2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
4. Favorite Buffalo wing sauce for tossing or serving on the side
5. Or a mix of favorite hot wing sauce and BBQ sauce, my new favorite

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450F
2. Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder.
3. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
4. Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
5. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.

Season with salt. Serve hot, tossed in Buffalo sauce or with the sauce on the side.

Tip: Let the wings sit for 5 minutes before tossing in sauce. This will preserve crispy skin.

Recipe Notes

While a cooling rack helps with getting the melted chicken drain off the wings, it's a major pain getting it cleaned afterwards. I stopped using a cooling rack and bake the wings on parchement paper. I don't notice much difference, if any.
