]]> Winter is the perfect time to experiment with carrots. This simple root vegetable is often underestimated. But with a bit of attention in the kitchen, they can become the star of your meal. Here are three amazing recipes to try. 

Carrot Tartare

Carrot tartare is a vegetarian take on the classic steak tartare. For this version, chop fresh medium carrots to resemble the texture of traditional tartare. Mix them with finely chopped shallot and capers, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice, which together create a bold and tangy flavor profile. Season and garnish and walla!

Honey Roasted Carrots With Herbed Goat Cheese

This recipe is not too difficult but has a definite wow factor. The honey glaze will bring out the carrots’ natural sweetness and add a slight caramelization. The goat cheese and fresh herbs topping (thyme or parsley are great) add a creamy and tangy dimension to the dish. 

Glazed Carrot Ribbons With Pistachio and Mint

This elegant side dish features long, thin ribbons of carrot that are cooked in butter until tender and glazed with brown sugar for a touch of sweetness. The addition of shelled, chopped pistachios will add the perfect crunch and nutty flavor, while the chopped fresh mint leaves provide a refreshing and aromatic element.

]]> Carrots, with their vibrant orange hue and sweet flavor, are not only a nutritious vegetable, but also a versatile ingredient in the culinary world. Whether roasted, steamed, or grated, carrots add a delightful touch to a wide range of dishes. Let’s delve into the diverse ways you can incorporate carrots into your cooking repertoire.

Roasted Carrots With Herbs

Roasting carrots brings out their natural sweetness and enhances their earthy flavor. Toss carrot batons in olive oil, sprinkle with your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary, and roast in the oven until tender and slightly caramelized.

Carrot Soup

Create a comforting bowl of carrot soup by simmering carrots with aromatic herbs, such as ginger or cumin, in a flavorful broth. Once tender, puree the mixture until smooth and velvety. Add a splash of cream or coconut milk for a luscious touch. This nourishing soup is perfect for chilly evenings and makes a satisfying meal.

Carrot Salad

Give your salad a vibrant twist by using carrot ribbons instead of traditional salad greens. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin, long strips of carrots and toss them with your favorite greens, such as spinach or arugula. Drizzle with a zesty vinaigrette and top with nuts or seeds for added crunch.

]]> If you’re looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you may want to consider eating a diet rich in vegetables. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that are essential for our overall well-being. Adding these three vegetables to your diet can have numerous health benefits, such as boosting the immune system, improving digestion, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, they can improve brain function and promote healthy skin and hair. Here are three of the healthiest vegetables you can eat.

Kale

Kale is a leafy green vegetable that is a nutrient powerhouse. It’s packed with vitamins A, C, and K and is an excellent source of calcium and iron. It also contains antioxidants and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great food for reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are incredibly tasty, but they’re also a cruciferous vegetable that is rich in vitamin C and fiber. They also contain sulforaphane, which is a compound that has anti-cancer properties.

Carrots

Carrots are a root vegetable that is rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which can help protect the eyes and skin. They are also an excellent source of fiber and can help regulate digestion.

]]> As the cost of food rises, growing your own produce is starting to sound more appealing. For those that don’t have access to a garden, that does not mean it can’t be done. There are many vegetables that will grow indoors—you just need to learn how. With some good soil and light and a lot of care and attention, you will have a nice vegetable patch.

You first need to find a large enough container for the roots to have room to grow, with a hole for drainage. Plant your veggie scraps or seeds using some indoor soil and put them in front of a window that gets sunlight. Summer is the best time to start growing your own veggies and you want to make sure the soil stays moist.

Here is a list of some of the vegetables you can grow in the comfort of your home.

Carrots

Carrots don’t need so much space around them so you can grow a lot of them in a small space indoors, with a lot of light.

Potatoes

Potatoes are really easy to grow if you use the scraps of sprouted potatoes. Cut them into pieces and lay the sprout side up on at least four inches of soil. Cover them in more soil, and make sure to keep them covered, and you will have potatoes in about two months.

Tomatoes

Growing tomatoes indoors is possible—you just want to make sure they get a lot of light during the day, so they are best grown in the summer. Also choose a smaller variety, so they have more chance of growing.

]]> When it comes to eating vegetables, specifically cucumbers and carrots, there’s usually a bit of a controversy. This controversy boils down to one similar question: if you’re eating it raw, should you peel it or not? Whichever side of the spectrum you fall on, it’s important to note that there is a solid division out there. There are many who feel that the skin makes a carrot or cucumber less tasty—and there are others who feel that regardless of taste, you get all the nutrients from the skin and therefore you must keep it. However, we have a solution to this issue.

We completely hear both arguments. We’ve experimented with both, and both ways are enjoyable. But we’ve also come to the conclusion that you can actually do both options at once, and here’s how.

Let’s say you’ve got your carrot, it’s rinsed, and it’s ready to be peeled. Take out your peeler, but instead of peeling the whole thing, only peel half of the carrot.

This might sound like a wonky decision, but if done right, it actually provides an elegant solution. If you peel your carrot in vertical stripes, you should get the best of both worlds. By the time you’re done, it should look kind of like a zebra, but inside of black and white stripes, it’s “unpeeled” and “peeled” stripes. Give it a try and tell us how it went!

]]> Carrots come with a long list of health benefits and we should all try to eat them on a daily basis. The list of dishes and drinks you can make with them is pretty long and carrot juice is one of the most popular options. If you enjoy making it, here are tips you can use to improve its taste and healthy properties.

Carrot Choice

Your carrot juice will be as tasty as the carrots you’re using. Carrots that have been harvested a long time ago are best avoided because their taste won’t be as sweet as you want it to be. Try going with young or baby carrots and always make sure they’re as fresh as possible.

Straining Your Juice

You won’t have to take this step with every juice you make, but straining is a must when it comes to carrot juice. Unless you like drinking your juice with pulp, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain it and use leftover pulp to make smoothies, desserts, and more.

Perfect Combo

Who said that carrots are the only ingredient that you have to use in your juice? Flavor combos are pretty much endless, and citrus fruits are one of the most popular options, but you can also add some apples, mangos, pineapples, ginger, or honey to the mix.

]]> Carrots are one of the most delicious root vegetables on the market and they come with a long list of health benefits, but are you making the best of them? If you’re just using them in savory dishes, that’s probably not the case since there are many delicious desserts that you can make with this veggie—including these three.

Carrot Cake

If we had to pick the most popular carrot dessert on the market, this one would definitely take the cake. Carrot cake is one of the first dishes that people think of when someone mentions this veggie, and you can take it to another level by adding spices and tasty fruits to the mix.

Carrot Pudding

Carrot pudding is another popular dish you can make with carrots, and it can be both sweet and savory. It’s basically a predecessor of the carrot cake, and the ingredients you’re using will determine how sweet it’s going to be. Gajar ka halwa is a popular variation of this dessert, originating from the Indian subcontinent.  

Cezerye

Speaking of traditional international dishes you can make with carrots, cezerye is a huge hit in Turkey. Caramelized carrots are one of its main ingredients, but you’ll also need some shredded coconut, and roasted walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios to make it extra-tasty.

However, we have a solution to this issue.

We completely hear both arguments. We’ve experimented with both, and both ways are enjoyable. But we’ve also come to the conclusion that you can actually do both options at once, and here’s how.

Let’s say you’ve got your carrot, it’s rinsed, and it’s ready to be peeled. Take out your peeler, but instead of peeling the whole thing, only peel half of the carrot.

This might sound like a wonky decision, but if done right, it actually provides an elegant solution. If you peel your carrot in vertical stripes, you should get the best of both worlds. By the time you’re done, it should look kind of like a zebra, but inside of black and white stripes, it’s “unpeeled” and “peeled” stripes. Give it a try and tell us how it went!

]]> Carrots come with a long list of health benefits and we should all try to eat them on a daily basis. The list of dishes and drinks you can make with them is pretty long and carrot juice is one of the most popular options. If you enjoy making it, here are tips you can use to improve its taste and healthy properties.

Carrot Choice

Your carrot juice will be as tasty as the carrots you’re using. Carrots that have been harvested a long time ago are best avoided because their taste won’t be as sweet as you want it to be. Try going with young or baby carrots and always make sure they’re as fresh as possible.

Straining Your Juice

You won’t have to take this step with every juice you make, but straining is a must when it comes to carrot juice. Unless you like drinking your juice with pulp, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain it and use leftover pulp to make smoothies, desserts, and more.

Perfect Combo

Who said that carrots are the only ingredient that you have to use in your juice? Flavor combos are pretty much endless, and citrus fruits are one of the most popular options, but you can also add some apples, mangos, pineapples, ginger, or honey to the mix.

]]> Carrots are one of the most delicious root vegetables on the market and they come with a long list of health benefits, but are you making the best of them? If you’re just using them in savory dishes, that’s probably not the case since there are many delicious desserts that you can make with this veggie—including these three.

Carrot Cake

If we had to pick the most popular carrot dessert on the market, this one would definitely take the cake. Carrot cake is one of the first dishes that people think of when someone mentions this veggie, and you can take it to another level by adding spices and tasty fruits to the mix.

Carrot Pudding

Carrot pudding is another popular dish you can make with carrots, and it can be both sweet and savory. It’s basically a predecessor of the carrot cake, and the ingredients you’re using will determine how sweet it’s going to be. Gajar ka halwa is a popular variation of this dessert, originating from the Indian subcontinent.  

Cezerye

Speaking of traditional international dishes you can make with carrots, cezerye is a huge hit in Turkey. Caramelized carrots are one of its main ingredients, but you’ll also need some shredded coconut, and roasted walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios to make it extra-tasty.

And second, it’s so delicious that you’ll enjoy it as much as you might takeout. So, without further ado, check out the last roasted carrot recipe that you’ll ever need to try.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut your carrots into 3-inch pieces, cutting on the diagonal if you want to be fancy.
  • Spread the cut carrots out on your baking sheet. Top with melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine and then sprinkle some salt on top.
  • Bake the carrots until brown around the edges. This can take up to an hour, but keep checking your carrots every 20 minutes or so to give them a quick toss and see their status. They’ll be done once they’re super tender.
  • Take them out, let cool a bit, and serve, adding another sprinkle of salt if desired.
