Creamed Carrots

This recipe for Creamed Carrots is an adaptation of the creamed carrots that my grandparents used to make for our family dinners every Sunday when I was a kid.

We no longer have extended family dinners once a week, but the creamed carrots still show up at all holiday meals and are my dad’s absolute favorite veggie side!

The carrots are cooked until they are very very soft after absorbing a delicious creamy base. The end result is melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful creamed carrots!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • chopped parsley, for garnish, if desired
