Carrot Soufflé

Golden, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, Carrot Soufflé is an elegant twist on a classic side dish. This light and fluffy recipe transforms humble carrots into a subtly sweet, spiced delight that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup water or vegetable broth
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup soufflé dish or casserole dish.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sliced carrots and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain carrots and transfer to a food processor or blender. Puree until completely smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Whisk in melted butter and carrot puree until smooth.
  6. In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the carrot mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Carrot Soufflé is best served immediately for the fluffiest texture. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, vegetarian dishes, or as part of a festive meal. For a richer variation, try adding a sprinkle of grated cheese before baking.
