Confession: I am NOT the biggest fan of raw carrots, my sister thinks I’m crazy, but she pretty much lives off the things. However, I LOVE roasted carrots and even if you aren’t the biggest carrot fan, you will have no problem noshing on these suckers.
Carrots are very high in Vitamin A, also called retinol. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, and is made more bio-available for your body when the food containing the nutrient is cooked. Or eaten with another fat, such as olive oil or coconut oil. Yay for roasting!
: RECIPE :
carrots [obvi]
extra virgin olive oil
fresh or dried herb of choice
lemon
calamata olives (optional)
salt and pepper
: METHOD :
simply julienne organic carrots and toss with with a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
spread onto a rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle with chopped herb, fresh lemon juice of one lemon, salt and pepper, and olives if desired.
bake at 450 for 25-30 minutes, tossing once.
so so easy. Enjoy!
BONUS :: Carrots really are good for vision! Studies have shown that retinol helps to protect against the development of cataracts. A serving of just two carrots provides roughly 4 times the RDA of vitamin A! So do like your momma said, eat your carrots, they will help you see better!
