Recipes using shredded carrots

e_v_v · April 2016

Help! I bought a huge bag of shredded carrots for one recipe, and I have a ton left over. Besides sprinkling them on salads, does anyone have any other ideas for using up these shredded carrots?

Funny you say this - I have a bag in my fridge that I've been trying to use up as well! I've mostly been putting them onto salads, or onto my kid's plates telling them that they are carrots for miniature rabbits.

I made stir fry a couple of times and threw them in at the end, but also have this on my meal plan for this weekend, it's one of my favorite spring recipes and will use them there.

What was the recipe you used them for? Maybe I can try that one!

Make a salad of shredded carrots, sliced celery, and thawed green peas. Then add some Newman's Sesame Ginger dressing.

Bake with them. Morning Glory muffins: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/7159/morning-glory-muffins-i/?internalSource=search result&referringContentType=search results

If they are matchstick (and have some firmness) I like to add them to stir frys.

This sounds odd, but is actually very good. Add shredded carrots & crushed pineapple to orange jello.

Mix them with chicken, peanut sauce, and cilantro for a cold salad.

I made Cheeseburger Soup--not entirely healthy, but more of a treat since I live in NW Iowa and it's still freezing here.

You can also make carrot patties. I bet they freeze well too, and probably pretty child friendly. RECIPE CARROT PATTIES

Carrot cake?

I sometimes add shredded carrots and zucchini to spaghetti sauce or stuffed pepper filling to bulk it up.

The reason I bought them is to make this dip that I absolutely love for Easter, but I thought I'd share the recipe.

Cashew Chicken Dip

INGREDIENTS

Base
8 oz cream cheese
1 Tablespoon milk

Topping
2 cup cooked shredded chicken
1 tsp ginger
3 green onions chopped
1 tbls soy sauce
1 cup chopped cashews
1 tbls chopped parsley or cilantro
1 cup shredded carrots
1 minced garlic clove
Sweet and Sour Sauce or Peanut Sauce for drizzling

INSTRUCTIONS

Base
Mix cream cheese and milk together, spread on pie plate
Topping
Mix all topping ingredients together and refrigerate one hour
Spread over cream cheese and drizzle with sweet and sour sauce or thai peanut sauce.

I serve it with wheat thins. I usually double the recipe for the topping, because it is great in wraps or on top of salad greens with an asian sesame dressing...

I would add them to just about everything I cooked. I do that with broccoli slaw. Eggs, soups, stir-fry, casserole, roast/steam with other veggies and some garlic, coleslaw - I've found making my own sauce with plain greek yogurt and a little sweetener (i use sugar or honey) salt and a little mild vinegar to be pretty good. Possibilities are endless
