In a root-vegetable popularity contest, the carrot wins hands-down. Let’s face it: Parsnips and beets and even turnips have devoted fans, but when it comes to a vegetable everyone loves, the carrot is at the top of the list.

 

What’s not to love? They’re beautiful (especially some of the heirloom varieties from the farmer’s market; purple anyone?), they’re nutritious, and their sweet, crunchy taste is addictive. Try to eat just one carrot stick!

 

No doubt about it. When it comes to carrots, we’re just as big fans as everyone else. With that in mind, we’ve got eight of our favorite recipes to help you enjoy summer carrots at their peak.
