Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2 medium garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrots and whole garlic cloves to the boiling water.
Cook the carrots and garlic for about 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender. Check with a fork to ensure they are soft.
Once cooked, drain the carrots and garlic in a colander and allow them to sit for a minute to release all steam and moisture.
Transfer the drained carrots and garlic to a large mixing bowl or a food processor.
Add the olive oil, coconut milk, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the bowl or processor with the carrots.
Mash using a potato masher or blend the mixture in the food processor until smooth and creamy. If using a food processor, pulse several times and scrape down the sides as necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
