Smashed carrots are a simple and nutritious dish made by cooking and mashing fresh carrots into a smooth, creamy or slightly chunky texture. Often enhanced with ingredients like olive oil, butter, herbs, or spices, this versatile side is a staple in many cuisines, including Western and Middle Eastern cooking. Packed with essential nutrients, carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin K, and fiber, supporting eye health, immune function, and digestion. Low in calories and naturally sweet, smashed carrots can be a wholesome choice for meal pairing. However, added fats like butter or cream can increase calorie and saturated fat content, so healthier substitutes, like olive oil, are a popular alternative. Whether served warm or chilled, smashed carrots offer a vibrant boost of flavor and nutrients to any plate.
