Roasted Carrots with Sage and Pistachios
Savory gremolata-style topping of sage, lemon zest, garlic and crunchy pistachios tossed over warm roasted carrots for an easy, festive side.
Inspired by gremolata, an herby Italian condiment that usually features grassy parsley, this dish takes an autumnal spin with fresh sage instead. In combination with lemon zest, garlic and pistachios -- an unexpected addition that lends extra crunch and color -- the mixture is showered over warm roasted carrots straight from the oven for a savory, holiday-worthy finish. Reach for store-bought shelled and roasted pistachios so you don't have to bother toasting them yourself. And don't worry about peeling the carrots: Leaving them unpeeled adds texture.
