What goes with Carrot?
Carrot sweetness is only one part of its profile; terpenes provide the piney, earthy notes that connect it to cumin, coriander and citrus. Roasting concentrates sugar and browns the exterior, while steaming keeps the flavour clean and colour vivid. Large cores can be woody and require longer cooking. Fat helps carry aromatic compounds, but too much glaze makes the root read as dessert.
