- 200g (1½ packed cups) Carrots Grated
- 125ml (½ cup) Water
- 70g (½ cup) Grated Cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 4 tbsp (15ml tbsps) Oat flour
Pre heat oven to 180C / 350F / Gas 4 and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet
Mixed the carrot and water in a bowl, cover and microwave on high for 3 mins
Drain the carrots and then place them on a clean cloth / absorbent paper and squeeze out the liquid. (You need to get the carrots quite dry for the recipe to work)
Place the carrots back in the bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients.
Using a cookie cutter, form star shapes of the mixture straight onto the prepared baking sheet. Make each star around ½cm / ¼inch thick.
Bake for approx. 13 mins (until crispy on the sides)
Cheese: You can use any good melting cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella or tasty. Or you can use a mix.
Flour: Oat flour can easily be made by blending / processing oats until a flour consistency. Alternatively you can replace with another flour (such as all-purpose or almond)
Cooking carrots without a microwave: Bring ½ cup water to boil, add the grated carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Alternatively, steam until soft.
I made 14 carrot stars, this will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter.
