If you love sweet potato casserole, you'll love this sweet and savory carrot soufflé! Serve this easy carrot recipe as a holiday side dish or as a dessert.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Place the carrots in a medium pot. Cover with water and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well. Set aside to cool slightly.
Combine brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in food processor and pulse until well combined. Add cooked carrots and continue to pulse until smooth, scraping down the edges as needed.
Scrape carrot mixture into prepared baking dish, smoothing top, and bake for 50 minutes, or set in the middle. A knife or toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
