What’s up Doc? Aka Purple Carrot Tart…
by girlinafoodfrenzy
Something tells me that a certain bunny may or may not just go for this tart. It has sweet roasted heirloom carrots, (purple being my favourite to date as you know,) which are then drizzled with honey, finished with a bit of salt, pepper, coriander seeds and thyme for extra fragrance.
It’s not inspired by much more than the need to cook some beautiful produce which happened to be in the fridge and to make a little snackette after shopping on Sunday. In fact, we found a variety of fantastic ingredients which I’m going to feature towards the end of the week, some of the familiar and some (not so familiar of course!)
In the meantime, I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this Carrot tart with Honey & Thyme and savour in yet another delightful way, to eat those veg…

I hope it pleases all the carrot lovers out there too
Wow……I love purple, yellow and red carrots….but you can’t find them here….waaaaaah! Looks amazing, and I am sure it tasted amazing as well! Great idea.
Thanks Carla, its definitely a nice way to celebrate those lovely veg, I cant wait to get my hands on some heirloom seeds, (I’m still looking…) I’m so surprised you cant find them over there, with the fantastic variety of continental produce in the UK?
Ummm…..yeah, but I live in Barcelona…..so many UK things don’t get here. They are very proud of their produce. Maybe in a couple of years. If the Spaniards don’t think that purple carrots are “just too weird”
Oh no! My apologies Carla, (for some reason, I thought it was the reverse) whoops! I will keep my fingers crossed but no doubt, you have many other wonderful varieties of vegetables we would love to enjoy here in Australia!
You love those purple carrots! Eh! Still have not tried them! The colors are so vibrant and It all comes together so well!
I promise to use some other veggies in the future, but you know they are in season and since I missed out on my bright orange (pine mushrooms) this year I’ll just have to see what other wacky vege i can surprise you all with!
Carrots in a tart, whatever next? Those purple carrots are such a rich and lovely colour.
Lol, it might be my last purple carrot post for a while but I sure did enjoy that tart with my guy! He actually got excited because he thought it was dessert, but alas, no…
Ha ha, what a shame!
What an exciting recipe!
Simple food is really the best food! I tend to have some great vegetables that I need to use up and often it’s just soup or salads but not that day, I got very inspired
Never would have thought, but what a lovely idea!
Thank you, it was a wacky thought at first, but once I went with, it all the other ingredients pulled it together…
Very creative and original! Purple carrot tart with honey and thyme. Very en vogue, didn’t you know?
Fantastic looking dish! You’re a genius.
Lol, it’s funny to think of good as fashion but I think that purple is the new season colour for me! As for the honey it always brings a little something to my carrots, but I think the thyme and coriander definitely make it better.
yeah you need to stop making everyone jealous with your rare produce.. great flavour combo and nice idea though!
Thank you, it’s always fun to see what’s new in the shops or market where I do my foraging, lol. As you’re back in the UK, you should be able to find these varieties I’d think? Good luck!
What a beautiful purple carrot tart!! I’ve never seen anything like this before!! It’s out of this world my dear! Love the way you sliced and decorated it!
Hi Sammi, thank you
it was a nice little experiment and basically looked like a dainty rustic tart with lots of colour and herbs. I was definitely happy with it.
