I do have yummy recipe for carrots, but eating them that way. doesnt help the fact that carrots are low in calorie LOL
Carrot Halwa: Its indian dessert, mixed with loads of ghee(clarified butter), sugar and cream :P
Google Carrot/Gajar halwa and you will see

They are also great in Moroccan Chicken, a slow cooker dish.

4 chicken quarters
1 C chopped/baby carrots
1 can chickpeas
1 c raisins
lemon wedges (you throw these out when its all cooked)
a little salt, pepper, lemon juice, honey, garlic and cinnamon to taste

Sear the chicken quarters in a pan with a little olive oil, then throw everything in a slow cooker or deep skillet. Simmer until carrots are tender and chicken is cooked through. Eat as is, or serve over rice. Seriously my favorite dish ever!

Sounds awesome!!

I have a theory but I cannot confirm it.

Did Carissa give them to you?

Raw carrots are amazing this topic makes 0 sense to me lol. Hummus was a good suggestion, ranch if your calories permit it.

If you don't like them, but need them in your diet you can shred them up and garnish a salad with them.

Edit: If you must cook carrots then cook them in bourbon. Something about whiskey and carrots is mind blowing.

Seriously? Carrots in bourbon?! I must try this!
I second Moroccan dish, carrot/cumin combo, carrot/butter and sugar combo
dont know if it was mentioned... butter, ginger, maple combo
I love them shredded into some sort of slaw- bonus points if it has raisins!
Hummus is disgusting and should never be consumed... blech

I like carrots so I may not be any help. I adore carrot cake though. Also any kind of preparation that involves cooking them with meat-- like with a roast or in the bottom of a pan under some chicken thighs. Mmmmm.

Ranch dressing...mmmmmhmmm

I'm with you OP.I hate carrots..especially cooked ones.

My grandmother used to serve lime jello with shredded carrots in it..totally gross.

I love carrots, so you'll get no complaints from me. I just finished a bowl of plain carrot sticks now! These, however are my favourite ways to eat them:

1) Tossed with oil and spices, then roasted in the oven or grilled on the BBQ.
2) Thinly sliced and sauteed in coconut oil with garlic salt and pepper.
3) Dipped in hummus or tzatziki.
4) Slowcooked in vegetable soup or chili.

cooked carrots are disgusting! Raw carrots are okay though. I agree with the ranch suggestion.

That sounds like sadness in jell-o form. Yuck. :brokenheart:

Baby carrots are gross to me but a regular old carrot is delicious all by itself.

baby carrots are just regular carrots shaved down.

Don't do that Brainy...with your logic and truths and stuff!

My son hates anything vegetable so I have to sneak them in. I put grated carrot in spaghetti sauce (meatless or not)
low fat carrot muffins, on salad, soups (puree if you have to!), chili (meatless or not)...I find pairing carrots with dill
really good too.

How do you know that's actually spaghetti sauce?

Cook them in whatever way you see fit and then give them to someone who likes carrots. Simple.

Or you can do what I do and eat with with a bite of meat to mask the awful taste

I like caramelized carrots. Recipe from memory of Elizabeth David's book on French Provincial Food.

Boil around 500 g ( about 1 lb) of chopped carrots in just enough water to barely cover. Add a tablespoon or two of sugar, a tiny pinch of salt and a teaspoon of butter. Boil furiously with the lid off until all the water boils off. Keep cooking at a lower heat until the carrots caramelize, stirring constantly. Once the carrots get a little charred around the edges, take off the heat and serve. Can be made in advance and reheated either on the stove or in the microwave.

I steam them then toss them with a bit of butter, dill and garlic - yum

My solution to all vegetables....roast them with some olive oil, salt/pepper.
