Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into even-sized chunks for consistent cooking.
In a large pot, add the carrot chunks and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the carrots simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until they are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the carrots well and return them to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add coconut milk and coconut oil to the cooked carrots.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the carrots until smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed carrots with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
