Chantenay carrots are extremely versatile and while they're delicious lightly boiled and served with butter and seasoning, there's no need to stop there!
They can be eaten just as they are and are particularly popular with children because of their sweet crunchiness and small size. They can be served halved or whole as crudités with other vegetables and a dip.
They can also be boiled,steamed,roasted,grilled,stir fried,microwaved etc. I've chosen to roast them in the Halogen oven but this can be done in a conventional oven too. Whichever way you choose to cook them they are a great addition to a Sunday Roast, a picnic or even to replace potatoes in your usual dinner. I served mine on a bed of Spinach and topped with maple glazed Spare Ribs which was delicious and just shows how versatile the little gems are.
