Carrot soufflé (Soufflé aux carottes)

Carrot soufflé is a vegetable soufflé that is based on carrots, and it can be made in sweet or savory versions. Apart from mashed carrots, other typical ingredients used in the soufflé base include butter, flour, and eggs. The dish is then sweetened with sugar and flavored with aromatic spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Baking powder is usually added to make the soufflé swell, but it can also be prepared in a traditional way by whipping egg whites until frothy before mixing them in the soufflé base. Other typical ingredients include cheese, chicken broth, onions, milk, black pepper, and allspice.

Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, this carrot soufflé is an ideal accompaniment to various meat and seafood dishes. The soufflé can also be enjoyed as a dessert if it errs on the sweeter side, or as a light vegetarian meal paired with a green salad on the side.
