How to Make Cheesy Carrot Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 1 pound of carrots.
  3. Boil the sliced carrots in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well.
  4. Mash the cooked carrots thoroughly using a potato masher or fork.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional) into the mashed carrots.
  7. Add the sautéed onion and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the mashed carrots. Mix well to combine.
  8. Pour the carrot mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the carrot mixture.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving (optional).
