You\u2019ve probably seen carrots popping up as a go-to ingredient in your friend\u2019s daily juice, but we\u2019ve got them trending and adding a pop of color all around Foodstand.<\/p>\n Carrots have been known to improve eyesight and reduce the risk of everything from leukemia to cardiovascular disease. Carrots are actually so nutritious that people originally grew them as a medicine, not a food. They also used to all be purple!<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Carrots are some of our favorite unique veggies. When you go to the farmers market, you’ll find 2-legged ones, curly ones, and other beauties. Don’t be afraid to buy them – these are special, not ugly. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Pro \/ Lazy tip: You don’t need to peel them! You can just scrub with toothbrush and roast. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from: Medical News Today<\/a> and Heal with Food<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Photo Credit: Oh My Veggies<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A fun way to serve carrots as an appetizer, or even as a whole meal with a nice side salad. Crunchy, easy to make, and goes well with a variety of sauces. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Ingredients<\/span><\/strong>: 2 cups shredded carrots (about 5 carrots); 1 cup chopped cilantro; 1\/2 cup chickpea flour; 1\/2 cup diced red onion; 2 eggs, lightly beaten; 2 tablespoons coconut oil<\/p>\n Method<\/strong>: Combine the shredded carrots, cilantro, chickpea flour, and onion in a large bowl.

Serve with yogurt-dill sauce or garlic aioli.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from Oh My Veggies<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Photo Credit: The Roasted Root<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Okay, so it\u2019s not pasta. But you can twirl it, and maybe even lady-and-the-tramp it. You\u2019ll probably need a spiralizer for this one to get those fancy carrot noodles (maybe we have some expert carrot curlers out there!), or you could just grate the carrots.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong>: 5 large carrots; 2 tablespoons peanut butter; 4 tablespoons coconut milk; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 cloves garlic; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger; 1 tablespoon lime juice<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Method<\/strong>: Make carrot noodles using spiral slicer or peeler. Combine all other ingredients to make peanut sauce, and mix together until smooth and creamy. Add chicken and green onions for extra flair if desired.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from: The Roasted Root<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Photo Credit: Drinkwire<\/a><\/span><\/span> You can juice even at happy hour with this refreshing beverage. Bourbon and carrot juice compliment each other to make a fresh, silky, cocktail treat. <\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong>: 2 oz fresh carrot juice; 2 oz bourbon; 1 oz lemon juice; 1\/4 oz Montenegro amaro; 1 egg white; a few dashes orange bitters; freshly ground toasted cumin<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Method<\/strong>: Mix all ingredients, except for the orange bitters and cumin in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Double strain into a cocktail glass, add orange bitters and cumin on top!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from: Drinkwire<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Roasted carrot soup with carrot top pesto.
