Directions
For the carrots, preheat oven to 350⁰F. In a small stainless bowl, toss carrots, oil, and spice. Transfer seasoned carrots to a parchment paper lined sheet pan, and bake for 15 minutes or until al dente. Remove from the oven and set aside. For the risotto, add oil to a medium saucepot over medium heat and sauté onions until golden brown. Add garlic, leeks, and mushrooms; continue to cook for 2 minutes and then add the spice. While stirring continuously, add white wine and reduce liquid by ¾. Add barley and vegetable stock and continue to stir while cooking until liquid has thickened. Finish by turning the flame off and gradually stirring in Parmesan cheese, butter and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
