Carrots are crunchy raw and sweet when cooked: grated into salads, simmered in soups and stews, or eaten as sticks with a dip. In Turkey they also become havuç tarator, a garlicky carrot and yogurt meze.
Carrots themselves add little; a yogurt dip or a butter and honey glaze changes the numbers more.
