Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the carrots. Mix well to evenly combine.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the egg, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to the carrot mixture, and stir until the mixture comes together.
Step 5
Spoon the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly, pressing gently to compact it slightly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly crisp.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
