Main ingredientsCarrots

Mashed carrots is a dish prepared by cooking and then mashing carrots. Milk, butter, salt and pepper are commonly 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]

Ingredients

The main ingredients are:

  • cooked carrots
  • butter
  • salt
  • pepper[7]

Herbs, spices and other ingredients are sometimes added:

Preparation

To create mashed carrots, the carrots are cut into a uniform size and boiled, steamed or roasted until a fork that is inserted comes out clean. The cooked carrots can be mashed in a food processor or by hand with a potato masher.[7][8][14] In addition, canned carrots can be used to prepare mashed carrots.[15] Mashed carrots are served warm.[7]

Culinary uses

Mashed carrots may be served as a side dish. They are a major ingredient in carrot muffins, carrot cookies and carrot souffle.[16].[17] Mashed carrots are used at home and commercially prepared 'baby' food.[18][19]
