Some people always eat carrots with their skin on, while others swear by eating them unpeeled. If you avoid them because you feel they taste bitter this way, you should give them another shot by trying these three dishes that can benefit from being made with unpeeled carrots.

Soups and Stews

Many soups and stew recipes call for carrots, and peeling them isn’t a must in this instance. As long as they’re washed properly, they’ll taste truly delicious, no matter if you’re using them to make creamy purée soups or simply adding them to the mix in form of carrot chunks.

Roasted Carrots

You’re wasting your time by peeling the carrots that you’re going to roast because missing this step makes no difference. Your carrots will have an equally delicious rich flavor whether they’re peeled or not, so simply give them a proper scrub and you’re good to go.

Carrot Juice

If you’re thinking of juicing your carrots, do yourself a favor and leave the skin on. Most of their good nutrients are stored in their skin, so they’ll do much more good for you if you juice them unpeeled.
