Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into uniform chunks, approximately 1 inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and cook for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the carrots are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
Once the carrots are done cooking, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add olive oil to the pot with the carrots and mash them using a potato masher or an immersion blender until they are smooth.
Add the almond milk, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Mix everything thoroughly until the mash is creamy and all ingredients are well incorporated. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the carrot mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the vegan creamy carrot mash warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a nutritious main course.
