Add a little pizazz to carrots by dressing them up with a peppery horseradish sauce and crunchy, buttery bread crumbs. This simple yet satisfying recipe combines the vegetal sweetness of carrots with the spicy kick of horseradish, creating a delicious and versatile side dish that’s a perfect accompaniment to pork chops<\/a> or roast beef<\/a>. You can have these crispy and flavorful carrots on the table in less than 30 minutes with just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Place 1 inch of water in a small saucepan and add the carrots. Bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer for seven to nine minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain the carrots and reserve 1 tablespoon of liquid. Place the carrots in a 2-cup baking dish.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onion, horseradish, salt, pepper and reserved liquid. Pour over the carrots. Toss together the cracker crumbs, butter and paprika; sprinkle over the top.<\/p>\n Bake the carrots, uncovered, until heated through, for 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n To store leftovers of this horseradish carrot recipe, simply transfer them to an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. The carrots will stay fresh for a couple of days. When you’re ready to eat, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze this horseradish carrot recipe. Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or freezer bag and press out any excess air before sealing to freeze. Freeze the carrots for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this horseradish carrot recipe ahead of time. Prepare the carrots, horseradish sauce and topping as instructed. Then, refrigerate the carrots and sauce until you’re ready to bake the recipe. When ready to serve, finish assembling the dish and bake it as instructed. This will help ensure the cracker crumbs stay crispy.<\/p>\n Yes, you can use pre-shredded or sliced carrots for convenience. You can also use baby carrots, although you’ll need to simmer them longer to help them soften all the way through.<\/p>\n Yes, simply use gluten-free crackers for the topping.<\/p>\n With a couple of easy swaps, you can easily make this recipe vegan! Simply use a vegan mayonnaise and a vegan butter alternative. Make sure your crackers are vegan too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Edna Hoffman from Hebron, Indiana suggests a deliciously different way to dress up carrots on a wintry night.
