I have long loved the humble, crunchy carrot and once ate so many my skin got that odd orange (carotene) glow … however too many also made my gut a little unhappy. So I’m now a bit more restrained but still include some most days, and love the rich purple carrots that are in seasons at the moment. These are packed with anthocyanins which are polyphenol antioxidants that are amazing at protecting your body from harmful oxidative stress, and are absolutely delicious roasted with a good quality olive oil .
This is my latest way of enjoying them, sometimes with the addition of yellow and orange carrots as well to make the dish extra pretty!
