Notes
These carrots can easily be roasted instead of boiled for an additional layer of caramelized flavor. Simply spread out on a sheet pan and roast at 400 degrees for up to 20 minutes.
While you can certainly use classic bright orange carrots, I feel that the color in these carrot varieties gives the dish some real pizzazz! Consider the visual appeal when you’re shopping and the reward is a beautiful presentation.
This particular heirloom carrot variety was found at Whole Foods, but you can find them at Trader Joe’s and other local grocers as well!
