Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces, about 1-inch in size, to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the carrots to the boiling water.
Cook the carrots for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the water and transfer the cooked carrots to a large mixing bowl or food processor.
Add ghee, coconut milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the carrots.
Mash the ingredients together using a potato masher or blend them in the food processor until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the creamy mashed carrots to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
