Until a few hundred years ago, carrots were most common in myriad colors. The Dutch combined a yellow carrot with a red one and came up with orange, their national color. These new carrots took hold and became the standard by which other carrots are judged. These days, the colorful originals are making a comeback. Every bag of Les Petites Carrots of Many Colors contains an assortment of colors, which will vary, including orange, yellow, white, purple, and red. The carrots themselves are about 4 to 6 inches long, peeled, trimmed, and ready to use. They can go directly from their bag to a roasting pan – turkey, beef, ham, or a veggie roast all play nicely with carrots, and the color of these really makes them pop when presented center of table. They make impressive crudités, served with dips, cheese, or charcuterie. Follow the recipe on the package for a thyme-tested presentation that you can prep in moments, and roast to readiness in about 20 minutes.
