Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots and well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir gently to combine.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, flour, and salt over the carrot-pineapple mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the sugar and flour are evenly distributed.
Transfer the carrot-pineapple mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the melted butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the carrot-pineapple layer in the casserole dish.
Place the casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a hearty side dish or a sweet dessert. Enjoy!
