This colorful Carrot Puff—also called Carrot Soufflé—is a popular side dish. Even kids and adults who aren’t fans of cooked carrots like its smooth, light consistency.

You can reduce the sugar to half if you wish; carrots are naturally sweet.

Note: Carrot Puff may be made a day ahead and refrigerated. I usually double the recipe as well, using a 9x13 pan.
