MASHED GARLIC CARROTS
I came up with this alternative after trying ladypits wonderful mashed spiced carrots recipe #75554. I was delighted by the taste and texture and wondered how it would be with a more savory flavor. This is a hit for me as well. I liked them both so much I have made extra to feed to my freezer.

Steps:
- Steam the carrots until cooked through (I usually like them crisp in the center, but that will not work here).
- Mash the carrots with a fork or potato masher and add the roasted garlic.
- Add the stock and the thyme and mix well.
- Add your salt and pepper to taste.
- Simply multiply recipe for bulk/freezer cooking.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are fresh, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are wilted, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Peel and chop the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a knife or a vegetable peeler to peel the carrots, and then chop them into 1-inch pieces.
- Use a large pot: The carrots will need plenty of room to cook and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Add some aromatics: Aromatics, such as garlic, onion, and celery, will help to add flavor to the carrots. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips.
- Use a good quality honey: The honey will help to sweeten the carrots and add a touch of depth to the flavor. Look for a honey that is raw and unfiltered.
- Use a mild chili powder: The chili powder will add a touch of heat to the carrots. If you don't like spicy food, you can use a mild chili powder or omit it altogether.
- Season to taste: Once the carrots are cooked, taste them and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more honey, chili powder, salt, or pepper.
Conclusion:
Mashed carrots with honey and chili powder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The carrots are cooked until tender and then mashed with honey, chili powder, and butter. The result is a creamy, flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
