Edible parts
Roots
Recipe idea with your ‘Malbec’ F1 red carrot harvest. Roast the root vegetables in regular-sized 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 equalize their cooking time with 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, then cook 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 when they are of a comparable size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while clean young skin can remain on the vegetable.
