CARROTS
Boiled, mashed, roasted or fried to perfection - these easy-peasy carrot recipes work wonders. My favourite ways of cooking carrots all serve 4 people - for each recipe you will need 500g of carrots, either left whole if they are baby ones, or sliced into small erratic pieces - nothing too perfect.

Steps:
- Carrots boiled with orange, garlic and herbs: Boil the carrots in salted boiling water with a tablespoon of sugar, a knob of butter and a little handful of fragrant herbs, tied up. Parsley, rosemary, thyme, bay - use just one or a mixture. Cut an orange into eighths and add them to the water, along with a few whole garlic cloves in their skins. If you really want to be a little tiger, add a pinch of cumin as well (seeds or ground) - it subtly cuts through with the most wonderful flavour. As soon as the carrots are cooked, drain them, discard the herbs and all but one of the orange pieces, squeeze the garlic out of its skin, chop the remaining orange piece finely and toss with the carrots, some seasoning and a little more butter. The flavour will be incredible.
- Another idea is to fry the chopped-up orange in a good tablespoon of sugar, so it almost jammifies, and serve this on top of the carrots. These two flavours together are one of the coolest things.
- Or, roasted carrots with orange, garlic and thyme: just as easy - as soon as you drain the carrots you can throw them into a baking tray with the chopped-up orange and the garlic cloves and roast them at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for 10 minutes - this will give you a slightly meatier flavour.
- Or simply mash the carrots up with the orange and garlic, so you have some coarse and some smooth. Lovely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
- Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.

11 HEALTH BENEFITS OF CARROTS: SUPERFOOD FOR IMPROVING ...
From guidedoc.com
Author Melanie RollandPublished 2014-02-12
- Cleans Teeth and Gums. There are several foods that act as nature’s toothbrush and the carrot is one of them. One of the health benefits is that the vegetable acts as a natural abrasive that scrubs away plaque and leftover food particles.
- A Healthy Dose of Vitamin A: Improving Eyesight. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A—one serving provides 210 percent of the recommended daily amount.
- Glowing Skin. The health benefits of eating carrots extend to the skin. If your skin looks dull or is showing signs of aging, you can use carrots to get it glowing again.
- Prevent Cardiovascular Disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the United States in 2010.
- Cancer Prevention. Cancer prevention may be one of the health benefits of carrots for women and men. In addition to containing antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers, carrots produce a natural pesticide called falcarinol, which protects the root vegetables from fungal diseases.
- Flush Out Toxins. Another of the purportedhealth benefit of carrots is that they may help flush toxins out of the body. It’s believed carrots contain properties that help reduce fat and bile in the liver—the removal of these substances leads to a better functioning liver and improved overall health.
- Lots of Fiber. One medium carrot contains about .06 ounces of fiber. Fiber is important for a number of reasons. It can help lower blood pressure by reducing the amount of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from the blood, and it aids in cleaning the gastrointestinal tract by picking up debris on its way out of the body.
- Lower Risk of Prostate Cancer. The health benefits of carrots for men include reducing the risk of prostate cancer. A study conducted at the University of York found vitamin A and retinoic acid may reduce cancer’s ability to invade the tissues that surround them.
- Stroke Prevention. Another Harvard University study followed 90,000 female nurses for eight years and found that women who ate carrots five times per week cut their risk of having a stroke by two-thirds when compared to women who only ate carrots once or less per month.
- Immune System Support. The vitamins in carrots give your immune system a much needed boost. A well-functioning immune system can prevent the onset of common communicable diseases like colds and flu and help your body heal faster if you do fall ill.
6 WAYS TO ELEVATE ROASTED CARROTS - THE PIONEER WOMAN
From thepioneerwoman.com
- Roasted Garlic Roasted Carrots. Raw garlic has such a bite to it. When you roast it, it becomes mellow and buttery. It’s super easy to add a head of garlic to your pan of carrots.
- Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Carrots. This one is my favorite. Because: cheese. Follow the directions for basic roasted carrots, but be extra generous with the pepper.
- Herb Roasted Carrots. Simply add whole, fresh herbs to the carrots when roasting. By using whole herbs, you can easily remove them from the carrots before serving.
- Maple Pecan Roasted Carrots. Carrots are naturally sweet. When you add just a drizzle of maple syrup, it really brings out that sugary goodness. Toasty pecans make this dish scream fall.
- Balsamic Glazed Roasted Carrots. If your meal is in need of some acidity, try adding a balsamic reduction to your carrots. Follow the directions for basic roasted carrots.
- Maple Bacon Roasted Carrots. Okay, so this one is my other favorite. Because: BACON. Follow the directions for basic roasted carrots (bonus points if you use bacon grease for the cooking fat).
CARROTS- 7 SURPRISING NUTRITION FACTS AND HEALTH BENEFITS

- Sweet and crunchy carrots are notably rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber. They provide only 41 calories per 100 g, a negligible amount of fat, and no cholesterol.
- They are an exceptionally rich source of carotenes and vitamin-A. 100 g fresh carrot contains 8,285 µg of beta-carotene and 16,706 IU of vitamin-A. Studies have found that flavonoid compounds in carrots may offer to protect against skin, lung, and oral cavity cancers.
- In humans, carotenes convert into vitamin-A in the liver cells. Beta-carotene is the important carotene type present in these roots. Beta-carotene is one of the powerful natural antioxidants that protect the human body from harmful oxygen-derived free radicals.
- Carrots are rich in polyacetylene antioxidant, falcarinol. A research study conducted by scientists at the University of Newcastle on laboratory animals has found that falcarinol in carrots may help fight against cancers by destroying pre-cancerous cells in the tumors.
- Fresh roots are also good in vitamin-C; provide about 9% of RDA. Vitamin-C is a water-soluble antioxidant. It helps the body maintain healthy connective tissue, teeth, and gum.
- Also, they are exceptionally rich in many B-complex groups of vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), thiamin, pantothenic acid, etc., that acts as co-factors to enzymes during substrate metabolism in the body.
- Further, They also compose healthy levels of minerals like copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, and phosphorus. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure by countering the effects of sodium.
