Carrots:
The Best Way To Cook Them For Maximum Flavor And Maximum Nutrient Consumption
( A.k.A Bioavailability)
While there are many ways to cook this beautiful versatile starchy vegetable root that is
moderately alkaline , Steam-roasting is the best way to eat them for maximum flavor
and maximum nutrient consumption.
It is also the best way to cook them if you like making spiced carrot pie.
Carrots are in abundance and cheap in the market place , Yet they are higher in Pectin
than any other vegetable which requires a very delicate cooking process for the
heritage varieties that you see some of in grocery stores today. A gentle cooking process is
imperative to holding its cellular structure in tact so it does not dry out, but also so you
can get maximum bio-availability (maximum nutrition consumable) from it! In my
personal cooking experience this a must especially for the orange colored carrots, which were
originally the product of selective breeding by Dutch growers who developed the uniform
orange variety, to supposedly honor their national color.
Fun Fact: Did you know that carrots were not originally orange? They were purple, white, green,
yellow, all sorts of colors - but never orange.
When you steam roast them their cellular structure is still in place , making them the
most absorbent during the cooking process due to conjugated double-bond systems that
also act as a buffer in the cell against oxidative damage that could be caused by high heats
during the cooking process. when you do it right the complete carrot absorbs and you are
accentuating that subtle sweet nutty flavor not masking it.
There is a method to the madness! Who honestly wants to do a double cooking process
for carrots? I know I don't! To Ensure The Vitality of your carrots Covering your skillet
or baking pan with foil is a must for sealing in the steam & stabilizing its pectin content
during the cooking process, naturally retaining cellular structure, and providing
maximum bio-availability.

Remember, the more versatile, the more nutrition.
Which is why I recommend eating a diet rich in different-colored vegetables, because
those different colors correlate well with the presence of the five types of antioxidants that we
should be consuming in our diet.

Quick Tips: lining the baking sheet with foil will make clean-up 1-2 combo. Use the foil to cover
the baking sheet during the first 15 minutes of the cooking process to trap the moisture from the
steam in to preventing drishrica (dried Shriveled Carrots)

Carrot Tip: Don't Forget! To Treat them differently based on their size.
1½ pounds carrot
 Once the carrots have been peeled and cut in half crosswise,
 Small carrots (less than ½ inch in diameter) are ready to cook.
 The bottom pieces from medium carrots (1/2 to 1 inch in diameter) can be cooked as is,
yet the top pieces will be thick and so half them lengthwise to create a total of 3 pieces
from each medium carrot.
 Large carrots (more than 1 inch in diameter) should be cut into 8 pieces in total;
after cutting the carrot in half crosswise, quarter each section lengthwise.
This will Help Tremendously during your cooking process.
Food Recycling Tip: If you would like, I suggest using the shavings as an
addition to a nice tuna salad. Let no part of food go unutilized I Say!!

2 TABLESPOONS COLD DUCK FAT SOFTENED- BUTTER WILL WORK

but not over
powering nutty flavor and aroma that is sure to stop anyone in their tracks . I personally
have used macadamia nut oil for this recipe its fat powerhouse and frankly it offers
more nutritional value than butter. Yet In This Case I used Duck Fat Because I Wanted To
Cream It with some spices herbs and garlic and honestly very few fats can season as
good as duck fat.
1 TBSP CELTIC SALT:
I replaced table salt (America test kitchen recommendation ) with Celtic salt for it trace
minerals that our bodies so vitally needs on the daily. Plus it has a much better flavor from
nutrients and vitamins and minerals that our bodies cannot make. The 82 trace minerals
present gives this special salt it beautiful empowering saltiness which means( you get to save
money and possibly grow it. ) Which me and big daddy is all about! Also that a little goes along
way! It also acts a Penetrator which is why I recommend prepping the Carbohydrate, minerals,
vitamins and fat (carrots , salt and Duck Fat ) a few hours before cooking so those beautiful
properties will have time to get to know each other in ways only you and your significant other
can understand. Good Food Orgies Are Second On My List To Sex...
1/2 TSP TELLICHERRY GROUND BLACK PEPPER:
I replaced traditional black pepper with Tellicherry pepper because it is unique in how it
seasons and aid the cooking process yet because of its rarity a good quality tellicherry can be
hard to find and it drives up the antioxidant levels and its beyond nutritious and delicious
use traditional black pepper with a pinch of Cheyenne and that should do the trick. Ground
Ginger will also work as substitute just use a little more than the recipe requires. This is my go
to blog for any spice replacement and some because it has proven beyond effective for many
years so please take advantage of Learnmorehere

1 TBSP THYME & ROSEMARY
I added these particular pair because not only do they yield a delectable aroma and flavor, they
drive up the antioxidants tremendously because during such delicate cooking process such as
this one we still want to retain our nutrients and drive up antioxidant levels.
2 CLOVES OF FRESH MINCED GARLIC
This versatile sulfur compound is powerful it has the ability to make or break any dish. As well
irritate the gut lining if used in large quantities which is why you only seen me use two cloves
and enlisted the help of some other soothing spices to aid the cooking process.
1/4 TSP CINNAMON
This Trickster is different and very under estimated in most cuisines which why i utilize it in
different ways in my cooking process and in my home. Yet I used it here to offset the sharpness
of the garlic, rosemary and thyme as well as the accentuate the held heat of the tellicherry
pepper.


lightweight cookie sheets is not made for high-heat roasting, they will inevitably warp
in the oven.
As a result, the carrots end up sliding to one area of the pan, and cook unevenly.
lightweight pans can cause the carrots to burn.
Tossing the carrots with butter will increases this risk,
which is we line the pan with foil.
Cutting the carrots evenly into ½-inch-thick batons is very important because you want
all the carrots to cook at the same rate.
Remember smaller pieces are prone to burning!
Larger pieces are prone to not cook through and can be woody in the center so cut
them all the same size so they will cook evenly!
Because carrots round out at the top, start by cutting each one in half crosswise
Treat the top and bottom portions differently if necessary.
