Purple Haze

Purple Haze carrotsfrom our plot

Deep purple skin over a bright orange core, like a carrot drawn at sunset. It's sweeter than you'd think, and roasting only deepens the colour — a reminder that carrots wore every shade but orange for centuries, before the Dutch settled the matter.

Roasted purple carrots with tahini

Roast whole until tender and slightly charred. Drizzle with tahini thinned with lemon juice, scatter with pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts. The purple deepens in the oven.
