Ginger Carrot Recipe

ginger carrot recipe

This yummy ginger carrot recipe is sure to become a family favorite.

Of course I love easy recipes and this is one that transforms the lowly carrot into an elegant vegetable recipe, fit for company or holiday dinners, but easy enough for every day.


This recipe calls for the carrots to be cut into julienne strips. If you aren’t familiar with that, it just means that you cut the carrot into 1/4s lengthwise, then into 2 or 3 longer strips.

What I like to do though if I have carrots that are nice and small, especially if they still have their green end on them, is to just peel them and serve them whole as in the image above. It’s a nice looking presentation, especially if you are serving them to company. You can cut them any way you like though and they will still be yummy.

Tip:


Use lemon juice and lemon rind instead of orange if you prefer. It will give the carrots a zippy fresh taste.
