Roasted Purple Carrot


Purple carrots are a beautiful carrot, I love them so much. The purple pigment is anthocyanins the same as blueberries, grapes and eggplant skin which is high antioxidants that help protect against heart disease and high blood pressure. They may also assist in free redical damage which has been linked to cancer, heart disease and eye disorders. Although they can be hard to come by you can find then from any good fruit and veg store or health food store.

1 big chilli
1 clove crushed garlic
Fresh basil

Method
Place them in baking tray 
Put all ingredients into tray and toss
Cook for about an hour at 180 degrees or when tender
Sprinkle sesame seeds to serve
