Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the carrots. Mix well to evenly combine.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the egg, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to the carrot mixture, and stir until the mixture comes together.
Spoon the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly, pressing gently to compact it slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
