Is it better to steam or roast carrots? 🥕♨️

[AOKN]

Hey all, wrestling with whether steaming or roasting carrots is the superior method. Steaming seems to preserve more nutrients, while roasting could bring out a sweeter flavor. I'm torn on which method maximizes both health benefits and taste. Love to hear how you folks decide between these two cooking techniques. Thoughts?

I usually go with roasting when I'm craving that caramelized goodness, but if I'm focusing on keeping things super nutritious, steaming wins out. It all depends on what I'm in the mood for and what my goals are in that meal.

While I prefer the caramelization that roasting brings out in carrots , steaming is unbeatable for keeping them crisp and fresh . So, it really depends on what you're craving - that roasted richness or the clean, crisp taste of steamed carrots.

Both steaming and roasting carrots can yield delicious results, but roasting often enhances their natural sweetness and adds a caramelized flavor, while steaming helps retain more of their nutrients and a softer texture. vs.
