Ingredients

Scale

Carrot Mixture

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Other

  • Cooking spray
  • Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Carrots: Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and sliced carrots, and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until they are very tender.
  3. Drain and Process Carrots: Drain the cooked carrots well, then transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and eggs. Process until the mixture becomes smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to the food processor with the carrot mixture. Pulse until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  5. Bake the Souffle: Pour the combined carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the souffle is golden brown on top and set in the center.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the souffle stand for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Be sure to not overcook the carrots to avoid mushy texture; they should be tender but intact for best flavor.
  • Use fresh carrots for optimal sweetness and texture.
  • The souffle will slightly deflate while cooling, which is normal.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, pairing well with roasted meats or vegetarian meals.
