Hey there, foodies! Today, I'm super stoked to share with you how to make a mouthwatering fresh carrot tart. And guess what? I'm a fresh carrot supplier, so I've got all the inside info on getting the best carrots for this delicious recipe.
First things first, let's talk about the carrots. As a supplier, I offer different sizes and types of fresh carrots.

Now, let's get into the recipe. You'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of grated fresh carrots
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
Here's how to make the carrot tart:
Step 1: Prepare the Carrots
Start by washing the carrots thoroughly. Then, grate them using a box grater or a food processor. You want to get about 2 cups of grated carrots. Make sure to remove any large pieces or strings.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Then, add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. You can use your fingers or the back of a spoon to do this. Make sure the crust is even and about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In another bowl, beat the egg with a whisk. Then, add the milk and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the grated carrots and chopped walnuts (if using) to the egg mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Pour the Filling into the Crust
Carefully pour the carrot filling into the prepared crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly.
Step 5: Bake the Tart
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tart pan in the oven and bake for about 35 - 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve the tart warm or at room temperature. You can also top it with some whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
Now, I know making a carrot tart might seem a bit intimidating at first, but trust me, it's really not that hard. With the right ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can make a delicious carrot tart that your friends and family will love.
