This side dish is a delicious way to enjoy your carrots. This side is full of superb antioxidants such as Beta-carotene and Anthocyanin thanks to the beautiful purple variety of carrot. Beta carotene is an antioxidant which belongs to a group of antioxidants called carotenoids. Carotenoids are what give the vegetable their colour. Roasting carrots in a little healthy fat helps the body to absorb the beta carotene and makes the nutrients more bioavailable within the body.

One of the benefits of buying organic carrots is enjoying them roasted with the skin on. By simply washing and giving them a good scrub to remove any dirt and debris you are aiding the gut and feeding it nutrients, fibre and beneficial bacteria.
