Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 people (makes 4–6 taco shells)
Type: Vegetarian 🌱

Ingredients

• 🥕 3 large carrots
• 🧀 70g parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 🥚 1 egg
• 🧂 A pinch of salt and pepper
• 🌶️ Optional: a sprinkle of chili flakes or smoked paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

1. 🔥 Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. ✂️ Roughly chop the carrots into big chunks — no need to be precise.
3. 🤏 Add the carrots, parmesan, and egg into a food processor. Blitz everything together until you get a textured but sticky mixture.
4. 🧻 Line a baking tray with parchment paper (this is key so they don’t stick!).
5. ➗ Divide the mixture into 4 portions for medium tacos or 6 for smaller ones. Flatten each into a thin round — about ½ cm thick.
6. ⏲️ Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
7. ❄️ Let them cool for a few minutes to firm up — and voilà, your carrot taco shells are ready to fill and enjoy!

To Serve

Fill your carrot tacos with anything you love! 💚 I like:

• A smear of herby cream cheese
• Grilled veggie strips
• Avocado slices 🥑
• A fresh, crunchy slaw

Perfect for a quick dinner, party bites, or a colourful lunch! 🎉
