Ingredients for carrot soufflé

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter. Add the carrots to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Let cool slightly. Drain the carrots, making sure to save a bit of boiling water. Add the carrots to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, slowly adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time. This will help blend and smooth the carrots.
