Check out these awesome carrots I got at the Torrance Farmers' Market! I was so excited to get them home and prepare them. I thought it would be best to keep it simple, so I would be able to tell if there was any flavor difference between the three colors. All I did was toss them with olive oil, sea salt and some avocado honey (dark and robust) and roast them in the oven for 30 minutes. If you've never roasted carrots--please try it. You will love the deep, sweet, carrot-y flavor.
They were pretty good as carrots go, but I couldn't really taste any difference between the colors. The red carrot was only red at the surface--the inside was a dark orange.

Wow, those are awesome. Funny how someone with such poor vision as myself loves them.
Gorgeous and great recipe idea.
Just think how much poorer your eyesight might be if you didn't eat any carrots. I'll bet you can get these at the Madison Farmers' Market.
Wow, how cool is that?! :)
Now what the heck is this avocado honey that you speak of??
Gorgeous!! Maybe that will make me re-think cooked carrots.....
Hi Sheila....you have to try it this way. It really mellows them out.
MHP--Avocado honey comes from bees that hang out in avocado groves. Most of the store honey is clover or wild flower..which is pretty mild. But others, like orange blossom or cranberry have a slight taste of the flower. Avocado honey doesn't taste like avocadoes...but it is really dark and tangy, almost like molasses.
