Let’s talk about eating your carrots, the thing your mom was right about!

What is an heirloom carrot?

A variety of carrot that has been passed down from generation to generation and are grown from open-pollinated seeds that are at least 50 years old and rely on natural pollination by insects and the wind.

A riff on these favorite rosemary potatoes that are cooked together with whole garlic cloves and rosemary leaves until tender on the inside and crispy at the edges. By cooking the garlic whole and in its own paper you avoid burning it, but still take advantage of its beautiful aroma infused throughout the carrots.

These carrots are best served hot, straight out of the oven with our vegan turkey and a harissa sauce, chimichurri, orange marmalade, sun dried tomato pesto or a green carrot top pesto. However, they also reheat well if you must make them ahead. They make nice leftovers in these spaghetti squash noodle bowls or to top this creamy carrot soup.
