They’re a go-to method to ensure we get our daily dose of vitamins. They undeniably play an important supporting role in stews, soups, and sauces, or as a colorful flourish to leafy green salads and vegetable medleys.
However, carrots are more than just a token flavor agent and accompaniment to a main dish. They are versatile and exciting and can easily be celebrated as the star attraction.
