Edible parts
Roots
Recipe idea for your ‘Yaya’ F1 carrot harvest. Roast the root vegetables in uniform pieces. Scrub the roots under water, remove the ends, and peel them only if necessary. Cut the larger ones into quarters to match their cooking time to that of the smaller pieces. Toss with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, then bake at 200°C (392°F), turning 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.
