Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Whole-roasted carrots are an effortlessly glam side, perfect with ham. But the real genius here is the matchstick-sliced ginger that bakes with them. Candied in the glaze, it's a chewy, intensely gingery topping you'll be pinching right off the pan.Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Candied Lemon Pound Cake

Candied Lemon Pound Cake

This moist, buttery pound cake has a triple threat of lemon: Chopped candied peel speckles the interior, and thin strips dance along the top, over a sheen of puckery lemon icing. The recipe comes from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis.Candied Lemon Pound Cake

Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde

Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde

Italian salsa verde-no relation to the Mexican one-is a classic herb sauce made with parsley, garlic and capers. Our version includes carrot tops, too. The bold, tangy flavor is a perfect match for steak (or any protein or roasted vegetable).Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde

Under the candy-bar coating of chocolate and nuts, this cake from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis is flavored with ground hazelnuts and hazelnut butter (easily made in a food processor in one step), plus a whisper of orange and lemon zest.
