How to Make Sweet Carrot Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb peeled and sliced carrots, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Pour carrot mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the carrot mixture.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the carrots are tender.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Yields 6-8 servings.
