Instructions
How to Make Carrot Souffle
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish to ensure your souffle doesn't stick.
- In a large pot, add the chopped carrots and cover them with enough water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain the water.
- Transfer the cooked carrots into a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, and then move the mixture to a mixing bowl for the next steps.
- Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs to the pureed carrots. Whisk everything together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Gently add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Bake it for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the souffle is set in the middle.
- Let the souffle cool for 5-10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
