Chef's notes
Carrots with their tops attached make for a great presentation and are especially lovely for a dinner party.
You can also use multi-colored carrots for variety.
Peel carrots when you are using large, full-sized carrots. These tend to have a rougher exterior that appears a bit ashy and fibrous.
If you want to skip the peeling process altogether and save time, buy a bag of pre-peeled baby carrots.
