I purchased 2 pounds of carrots at the store last night and had a free box of fruit coming today because of a company mix up. They messed up again, and sent me veggies instead. I now have about 7 pounds of carrots in my fridge. Generally I eat them raw or as ingredients in soups, stirfries, etc. I obviously need to go through them much faster than usual. It's just my 4-yo daughter and I. What are your favorite carrot repipes on this site or available on line? I'm glad they keep longer than some things.

Carrot Spaghetti
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
3 medium carrots
2 small cloves garlic
1/4 of an onion, diced (optional)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup of your favorite pasta sauce
Directions:
Wash the carrots well, especially if they are not organic. With a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots into long thing strips and sprinkle with salt. Finely dice the garlic and onion (if desired).
Coat the bottom of a large pan with the olive oil and heat on medium-high heat. When hot, add the carrots. Toss frequently (this works well with tongs). When the carrots start to soften, add the garlic and pepper (add onion here too if you like). Keep tossing for a couple of minutes until some of the carrots get brown around the edges (don't burn!) and the garlic is golden.
Serve with your favorite pasta sauce (tomato based, I really can't vouch for alfredo or other fancy sauces).
The nice thing is that it can be twirled with a fork the same way as regular pasta! Great if you're a carrot lover as I am.
Serves: 1
Preparation time: 30 minutes
yes, carrot spaghetti rocks!
and you need a lot of carrots to make a decent sized batch....
I like roasted carrots. They shrink down a lot, so you need quite a few for a good portion. You know, oil, salt, pepper.
Thanks guys. I was debating trying the carrot spaghetti and was going to use the oven to roast some asparagus and make kale chips. I can't stand sweet, candied carrots, so I was hoping for something unique. That's why I love this place.
yeah both the carrot spaghetti and roasted carrots are good. you could probably even freeze some if you need to. just peel, dice, toss in a baggie and theyre ready for future soups.
carrot cake cupcakes to take to your daughters school could be fun, too.
carrot ginger soup! ok, i know you said you already use them in soup, but i don't know if you make that kind. my mom always used to and i love it. i haven't tried this recipe but now i think i will http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2009/02/recipe-vegan-carrot-ginger-soup-two.html
I love the chickpea burgers on vw, they call for a shredded carrot, but I'm allergic to them, and use a parsnip. Either way, they rock!

I use it for "pumpkin" pie filling because we can't get pumpkins here. I make it all the time.
And if you want a savoury, filling dish go for "Pot Roast" Veggies:
