I don't think we give enough credit to this cheap and very readily available vegetable. Even organic carrots are relatively inexpensive. They're rich in fibre, Vitamin C, K and potassium, a good source of B vitamins and for the antioxidant beta-carotene it's hard to find a better source.
Steam the carrots until tender.
On a large chopping board, chop the parsley into the lemon zest and garlic until it's well combined. Place the cooked carrots in a pan with the olive oil and parsley mix. Toss through and serve with cracked black pepper.
Note: Organic or not you should always peel or thoroughly scrub carrots to remove any bacteria from the soil they grew in.
