Do you have favorite Carrot recipes?
Raw or cooked, chime in if you like.

They're sweet and yet herbaceous-tasting. Glad they're a benny!

I love it in a raw juce with other veg like celery, beet, apple, etc.   Sometimes in a salad.  Good in cultured / fermented vegetables.  I used to make carrot cake but I no longer eat cooked or baked food at this present time.  Carrot great for the liver, eyes, skin - valuable amino acids so long as eaten raw and fresh. Some say it needs to be cooked, other books say eat raw.  I definetly say and prefer raw and fresh.

We like them both raw and cooked.  For breakfast, I often have steamed carrots.  I like eating carrot sticks with some meals and as snacks.  

We have a great carrot cake recipe, but have never taken the time to convert it to BTD or our SWAMI diets.

Other than that, we don't really do anything special with carrots.

We do have to be careful as DD's SWAMI says no carrots...

shredded carrots/ginger/garlic, cultured (stuffed into a jar to ferment after being squished around
with some sea salt)

roasted carrots (evoo/sea salt)  350 oven, mixed with parsnips drizzled with ghee/honey

carrots roasted with brussels sprouts

carrot/pumpkin soup

Carrot/ginger soup

carrots/apples shredded...add spices of your choice...I like ginger, allspice, cinnamon...a few dried
cranberries or raisins, a little lemon juice, honey.  Creates a slaw.

Carrot juiced with celery and apples.

just eaten raw, dipped into any compliant bean dip or hummus....or tzadiki

Shredded carrots soaked in apple juice.....a Ukrainian specialty.

;D

Sounds good, I will have to try it.

Going simple, I like carrots quartered into strips, steamed and covered with a little butter and sprinkled with a little ground Dill seed. I have no idea where I heard about this, or if I made it up myself, but it works for me. :)

Chloe, it is not surprising you did so well on our  imaginary "Chopped" game. You have such a full and varied file in your head, and I'm quite sure you could have kept going... ;)
Aren't carrots amazingly versatile?
Love 'em.

I like my carrots raw.  I don’t like them cooked.

Don't like 'em at all.  But when they're ground to a fine pulp, they can be added to a meatloaf with onions in place of bread crumbs to lighten and sweeten it.

I mostly add them to soups and salads because I like the color.   :)

Raw, lightly sauteed in olive oil and sea salt with a bit of lemon juice and black pepper... in any shape or form! I LOVE carrots!

My A sister (whom I strongly suspect to be a nonnie) is sooo sensitive to texture and color, she thinks carrots are evil.  :'( She claims that food products should not have an "artificial", funny orange color. She thinks it is unnatural!

i love carrots:) however, i think my swami said to avoid. I still eat them now and then though.

kind of annoying since they are one of my favorites.

I like their versatility, partnering well with just about everything.

Carrot and raisen and pineapple salad, as a crudite with Peppermint Twists almond-yogurt dip, roasted with a beef or lamb roast, in soup, or just plain raw pulled out of the garden like today.

BTW Brighid's Carrot Cake is in the recipe base. I've made it several times.

...roasted with a beef or lamb roast, in soup...

...oh, yeah...
Carrots roasted with roasted meats and birds, the way they sop up those juices and get all sweet -- and in soups likewise...
Just Wonderful!

Homemade chicken soup was a big part of my childhood, and everyone knew to put lots of carrots in my bowl; they were the first things I'd finish in there...

The Beneficial!

I prefer raw carrots (especially with almond butter); but if I eat them cooked, I like them in soup or cooked lightly with raisins, butter, and sugar or maple syrup. I, also, like them in carrot fritters that my Mom used to make.

Who has a favorite Pickled Carrots recipe?

Baby carrots sauteed in butter with lemon juice and dill and fresh Sugar Snap peas.

I'm completely at a loss for where I used to buy (and the brand) jars of spicy picked carrot sticks.
Not that they're at all difficult to home-make.
But, strangely, even googling it turns up nothing thus far.
Sometimes you just like to reminisce... ;)

I don't see why you couldn't use applecider vinegar instead of white. The sugar is a bit more of a problem.

Right. And leave it to Guy Fieri to shove plenty of jalapeños into the jar!
You and I, both, gcg, can appreciate that!
Thanks.
