Recipe Notes
Can I Use Another Type of Carrot?
Absolutely! I used rainbow carrots because i think they look pretty. It is a combination of white carrots, purple carrots and orange carrots and yellow carrots. I normally find them in the organic section of the grocery store or at a farmer's market. You can use regular carrots (traditional orange) if that’s what you have on hand or whatever you pick up at your grocery store.. Baby carrots or fresh garden carrots would also be ideal.
Just be sure to use about the same thickness of carrots so that they cook evenly. If one is thicker than the other you can cut it in half or quarter it lengthwise.
If your carrots are not organic you can choose to peel them before roasting, the choice is yours.
What Can i serve roasted rainbow carrots with?
Roasted rainbow carrots go well with all proteins. Chicken, beef, pork, lamb and even fish. I find them especially delicious served with mashed potatoes and a protein of choice such as pork chops a grilled steak or grilled chicken thighs.
Our easy weeknight meal pictured below consisted of these multicolored whole carrots, mashed potatoes and my easy baked tilapia fish and it was so perfect.
