Edible parts

Roots
Recipe idea using your 'Chantenay Long' carrot harvest. Roast the root vegetables in uniform pieces. Brush the roots under water, remove the ends, and peel them only if their skin requires it. Cut the larger ones into quarters to make their cooking time similar to that of the smaller pieces. Mix with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, then bake at 200 °C (392 °F), turning them halfway through cooking. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep the colors separate on the baking sheet if you want to preserve their contrast when serving. Small roots can remain whole if they are of a comparable size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while clean young skin can remain on the vegetable.
