This is a favorite side dish in our house, and everyone loves it.
Most recipes for Carrot Souffle use a large amount of sugar. Â Here I have reduced the sweetness and substituted honey for the sugar.
And yet another reason to make this Carrot Souffle…look at some of the incredible health benefits of carrots:
- One serving of carrots gives you 400% of your daily vitamin A! Vitamin A protects your vision, and can protect you from night blindness and cataracts.
- The beta-carotene in carrots can reduce the risk of cancers of the lung, liver, ovaries, and prostrate.
- Carrots have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Beta-carotene also supports healthy skin and aids in the healing of wounds.
