Main ingredientsCarrots

Mashed carrots is a dish prepared by cooking and then mashing carrots. Milk, butter, salt and pepper are commonly used in preparation and mixed in after the carrots are mashed. The dish is usually served warm and as a side dish to meat and/or vegetables. Carrots can also be roasted in the oven and mashed afterwards but boiling the carrots seems to be the preferred method of preparation.[1][2] Carrots sometimes are mixed with other cooked vegetables before mashing. These include onions, parsnips, turnips, potatoes, squash, and rutabaga.[3][4][5][6]

The carrots have been boiled long enough when a fork that is inserted comes out clean. Mashed carrots are served warm.[7] Mashed carrots are a major ingredient in carrot muffins and carrot cookies.[16] Mashed carrots are used in commercially prepared 'baby' food.[17] Mashed carrots are the main ingredient in carrot souffle.[18]
