Preparation
To create mashed carrots, the carrots are washed and cut into a uniform size and boiled, steamed or roasted. The cooked carrots then can be mashed in a food processor or by hand with a potato masher.[9][10] In addition, canned carrots can be used to prepare mashed carrots.[11] Mashed carrots are served hot.[16]
