What are Rainbow Carrots?

Orange carrots are the common color for this uber-healthy tuber, but carrots can also come in jewel-tone colors like purple, yellow, red, and even white.

They’re found in most grocery stores in the produce section.

We love ’em because….

  • Obviously, they’re gorgeous!!
  • This dish is budget friendly, easy and can be prepared ahead of time.
  • A handful of very simple ingredients makes for a delicious dish.
  • Roasting vegetables from Brussels sprouts to carrots, or even potatoes adds great flavor!

And they are just perfect for Easter or any other special holiday! Serve next to ham, crispy breaded pork chops, or even meatloaf.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds rainbow carrots or small carrots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Peel carrots and cut them in half lengthwise. *see note
  • Toss carrots with olive oil and brown sugar. Season with salt & pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking pan and roast 15 minutes.
  • Stir and roast an additional 10-15 minutes or just until tender when pierced with a fork.

Notes

Size: If your carrots are extra large, cut them lengthwise into quarters. If they are thin (1/2" or less) leave them whole after peeling.
Freshness: Fresh garden carrots will need less time. Older carrots or grocery store carrots can be a bit drier and may need a bit of extra time.
