Sweet, smoky and buttery best describe the flavors in this recipe for Smoky Roasted Carrots with Miso Butter. This dish was inspired by something I had over this past weekend in Austin Texas and I wanted to share my version with you.
Super charred carrots over a habanero sauce was a true delight at Suerte in Austin Texas, however I wanted to create a recipe with that same idea, but a tamer sauce. Miso butter is a favorite spread that my carrots rest upon after being roasted in a super hot oven until almost blackened.
Charring carrots require a very hot temperature — 450 degrees to be exact, so they can get deep brown and soft on the inside. The ingredients are simple, and the flavors are divine. It makes a great side dish, especially with grilled fish or meat.

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
