Want a gorgeous side dish for Easter? Well, you can’t go wrong with rainbow carrots! It just wouldn’t be a holiday celebration without carrots on the table as part of the feast.

Plus, I’m sure the Easter bunny would definitely appreciate a carrot recipe.

Rainbow carrots come in a range of colors, hence the name. They can be purple, yellow, pale white, and even red.

They taste pretty similar to the regular orange carrot, but the kaleidoscope of colors that rainbow carrots provide makes the vegetable much more attractive and appealing to the eyes.

They are also incredibly versatile. You can rinse them off and eat them raw or smother them with sauce and roast them in the oven.

Either way, you’re sure to receive the amazing health benefits that carrots offer.

TikTok creators Meridian and Ralph (@farmmarketrecipes) are demonstrating how to prepare these tender multi-colored carrots for your upcoming Easter dinner. So let’s get into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of rainbow carrots
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley or thyme

Directions:

Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, wash the carrots and pat them dry to get rid of any excess moisture. If you can find carrots with the green tops still attached, leave them on for an added touch of spring!

Peel the carrots and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, melt a quarter cup of butter and pour the butter over the carrots, rolling them around to make sure they are evenly coated.

Sprinkle sugar on the carrots for some extra sweetness, and season them with salt and pepper. Bake them in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the carrots are soft and browned.

Finally, garnish the carrots with fresh parsley or thyme to give them a pop of flavor.

Serve these sweet, buttery Easter rainbow carrots alongside a classic ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and dinner rolls!
