Roasted Carrot Lettuce Wraps
Serves 6
Crunchy and sweet, this flavor-packed lettuce wrap will be enjoyed by veggie and meat lovers alike.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound carrots (peeled and cut into 1/4-inch x 2-inch strips)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons kalbi marinade
- 12 small Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 bunch fresh herbs (such as basil, mint, and/or cilantro) (finely chopped)
- 1 treviso or 1/4 radicchio (finely sliced (See Cook's Tip))
- Sesame seeds
Optional Ingredients
- Red chile peppers (sliced or finely chopped)
- Gochujang (Korean red chile paste)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place carrots on a sheet pan and toss with oil. Spread out and roast 10 to 12 minutes or until carrots start to caramelize.
- Remove from oven and add marinade, tossing until carrots are coated. Roast an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter. Fill with 3 - 4 carrot strips. Top with herbs, treviso or radicchio, and sesame seeds. If you like heat, add chile peppers and a drizzle of gochujang.
Cook Tips
Treviso is a leafy winter vegetable from the chicory family that looks like purple endive. It is not only beautiful in color, but it has a delicious crunch and a unique, sweet-bitter flavor that complements the roasted carrots. Cut it in half lengthwise and chiffonade (slice into very thin strips).
