Carrots. I love them. Ken doesn’t care for them unless they’re raw. Our daughter loves them. Our son, well, would rather not eat them. They are a somewhat limited vegetable, it’s true, but luckily, I have found a way to sweeten the deal, so to speak, when their orange-ishness is on our dinner plates: Carrot Souffle.
Think sweet potato souffle but with carrots. It’s a pretty Southern dish from what I’ve read, but I had never tried it until after I found the recipe when our son was a baby and I made it myself. Hopefully this recipe will help carrots earn a little more respect in your household! Give it a try.
CARROT SOUFFLE
7 cups chopped carrot (about 2 pounds)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cook carrot in boiling water 15 minutes or until very tender; drain. Place carrot in a food processor; process until smooth. Add granulated sugar and next 7 ingredients (granulated sugar through eggs); pulse to combine.
Spoon mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until puffed and set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serves 6-8.

Will be interesting to try these! Do you guys like horseradish? If so, I have a great carrot recipe we call “Company Carrots” that my aunt found years ago that uses horseradish with carrots. Brad was never a carrot fan (me either, when it came to cooked) until we tried them this way! Have a great rest of your week!
