You can prepare these carrots in numerous ways. For a simple side, steam them until tender-crisp, perhaps with a touch of butter and a sprinkle of salt. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness; toss them with olive oil, your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary, and roast until slightly caramelized.
