Edible parts

Roots

Recipe idea with your 'Nantes Improved' carrot harvest. Roast the root vegetables in regular 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 on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, 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 colours separate on the baking sheet if you want to preserve their contrast when serving. Small roots can remain whole when they are of comparable size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while clean young skin can remain on the vegetable.
