You'll quickly fall in love with the beauty and ease of preparation that rainbow carrots will bring to your culinary life—you may never go back to the all-orange variety again. To preserve their nutrients, you should scrub the carrots with a vegetable brush instead of peeling them, as the peels contain a lot of the good stuff for you. This delicious, colorful, and fun side dish also features lots of sugar snap peas, shallots, dill, sherry vinegar, garlic, and a bit of honey for some sweetness. It'll go well with any roasted meat or fish entrée that could use a refreshing, vegetarian accompaniment.

Ingredients

Slivered almonds

¼ cup(s)

Carrots

2 cup(s), rainbow variety, cut into 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices

Sugar snap peas

1 cup(s), whole, strings removed

Shallot

¼ cup(s), chopped, roughly chopped

Dill

2 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Sherry vinegar

1 Tbsp, or white wine vinegar

Garlic

1 clove(s), peeled, smashed

Honey

2 tsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place almonds on a baking sheet; bake 5 minutes. Stir almonds and continue baking until just golden, monitoring oven, 5-8 minutes. Remove from baking sheet; let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add carrots; cook 1 minute (cook an additional minute if you like your carrots tender). Add sugar snaps; cook until just bright green, 2 minutes. Drain vegetables; rinse under cold water to stop cooking and shake out all excess water.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine blanched vegetables, shallots, dill, oil, vinegar, garlic, honey, salt and pepper; toss to combine and then sprinkle with toasted almonds (remove garlic clove, if desired).
  5. Serving size: 1/2 c
