Description
A light, sweet, and cozy dish that bridges the line between side and dessert, featuring baked carrots with warm, cinnamon-kissed flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked carrots, mashed
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (56 g) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5–2 quart soufflé dish or a shallow baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed carrots with the egg yolks, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the carrot mixture, then fold in the remaining whites until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top gently.
- Bake for about 30–40 minutes, or until puffed, the top is golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Serve warm as a side or a lightly sweet dessert.
