Ingredients
- 3 medium to large carrots, scrubbed.
- Your favorite seasoning. We used garlic salt and curry powder (other ideas are smoked paprika, chives, onion powder, cumin seeds, ground coriander, options are endless)
Method
- Roughly chop your carrots and place them in a deep saucepan with boiling water.
- Cook for about 15-20 min until cooked through and soft.
- Let cool down for a few minutes, then mash them! I used a hand blender but a potato masher would also do the trick. Make sure there is no big chunks left and all the carrots are mashed.
- Add your seasoning.
- Roll into small balls (the size is up to you, but recommend not too big so it easier to smash them) Place on a baking tray lined with paper.
- Use a small square of baking paper, place over the ball, and use a glass to press down. Don’t make them too thin, as they will easily burn, but thin enough that can get crispy in the oven.
- Place in a preheated oven at 140 Celsius on fan bake for about 12 minutes, always checking on them so they don’t burnt.
- Let them cool down a bit, and enjoy!!
