Method

Directions for Preparing Smoky Carrot Spread and Crostini

1

Prepare the Carrots

Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.

Blend the Spread

In a food processor, combine the boiled carrots, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

3

Prepare the Crostini

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into thin slices and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Spread the smoky carrot mixture onto the toasted crostini. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve them warm.
