How To Make Carrot Soufflé

Preheat the oven and prepare your carrots. You will be using peeled carrots or baby carrots. They need to be softened before they can go in the food processor.

You can microwave or boil the carrots to soften them. To microwave them, add carrots to a microwave-safe bowl and pour in 1/4 of a cup of water. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and heat for 6 minutes.

After the cooking time is up, carefully remove the top plate with oven mitts or a dish towel and check the carrots. They should easily mash with a fork. If not, replace plate and cook for another minute or two.

Once carrots are softened, use a spoon to move them from the bowl to the food processor. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla on top. Puree for about 10 seconds, just to mix everything up a bit.

Next add flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Puree until fully blended and smooth. Pour mixture into 2 qt baking dish that’s been prepped with butter or nonstick spray.

Bake for 45 minutes, then check doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center of the dish. If the toothpick comes out clean, then soufflé is done.

If soufflé is not cooked through, heat for another 5-10 minutes.

Remove soufflé from oven and serve.

  1. Hi Melanie
    Can you make this using frozen carrots?
    If so, do you still need to soften them in the microwave?
    Many thanks
