    What are rainbow carrots?

    Rainbow Carrots are a mix of different colored carrots to create a pretty mix of colors. Colored carrots such as purple carrots, orange carrots, white and yellow are usually combined to make rainbow colored Carrots.

    They are either harvested before maturity and sold as baby carrots or left to mature to become regular sized carrots. The reason for these difference in colors is based on the pigmentation and the regions where they are grown.

    Rainbow Carrots go by a variety of names like colored carrots, colorful carrots, and tri color carrots. All these names refer to the same thing.

    Ingredients

    • Rainbow carrots
    • Oil
    • Garlic powder
    • Black pepper

    Substitutions

    Rainbow carrots: I used baby rainbow carrots for this recipe. Feel free to use regular sized rainbow carrots. Be sure to use the same weight as was used in this recipe so that the ration of the seasoning to the Carrots will be right.

    Seasoning blend: Use your favorite blend, or keep it simple with just salt or garlic and salt.
