Key Ingredients

Carrots – Peel and chop two pounds of carrots for this recipe. Once chopped, boil them in a large pot of water. After about 15 minutes, the carrots should be super soft and ready to strain. Once strained, leave them to cool for about 5 minutes before adding them to a bowl with the other ingredients.

Brown Sugar – Brown sugar brings out the natural caramel flavor of the carrots, which is simply delicious! If you’d like, you can use all brown sugar instead of a combination of brown and white sugar. If doing so, keep in mind that brown sugar will add more weight to the dish, resulting in a heavier texture and flavor.

Eggs – Along with some baking powder, the eggs in this recipe make it extra light and fluffy. I always use large or extra large eggs in baking, and made no exception for this carrot soufflé recipe.
