This week, the #SundaySupper group is sharing ways to use up Thanksgiving leftovers!
Shawn and I eat at my parents’ house so I don’t usually have leftovers to deal with. I wish that I did! I wouldn’t turn them into something else though – I’d just eat Thanksgiving dinner again and again until they were gone. Or at least until all that was left as turkey, which I’d throw into a big pot of soup or cassoulet.
Ok, I’d do something with the carrots. They seem to be a staple at every holiday meal, but I don’t know if anyone actually eats them, so they’re usually left over in massive quantities. (Why would you when there are so many other amazing vegetables, like roast Brussels sprouts with cranberries, to choose from or when you can just fill up on stuffing?) They’re boring enough the first time around, but reheated? They’d probably just get shoved to the back of the fridge where I’d forget about them until trash night.
These whipped carrots are delicious enough to make in their own right, but if you have leftovers to start from you’re already halfway there! Just throw them into the blender with some coconut milk and whip them until they’re nice and smooth (it only takes a few seconds), then top them with sriracha butter that’s spicy enough to balance out the sweetness of the carrots without being super hot.
These whipped carrots definitely have an Asian influence, but they’re pretty versatile. Try them with roast chicken thighs (or leftover turkey) or a piece of grilled fish for an easy and healthy weeknight meal.
This whipped carrots sriracha butter sundaysupper looks yummy! I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. It would be perfect breakfast! I found your post from Pinterest! Thx for sharing Lauren!
You had me at sriracha butter. Swoon.
I would happily dig into the carrots at a holiday feast if they were prepared like this!!
Great way to give carrots some kick!
Oh delish!! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Fabulous idea! I don’t know why I have never tried whipped carrots before – yum!
Awesome flavor combination! Love sriracha. Would’ve never thought to add that to carrots. Great idea!
Yesssss–I buy all my carrots from Costco and always have SO many sitting around! (Confession: I once ate so many carrots with my hummus for snacks that the soles of my feet started turning orange…whoops!). It’s a given that I love the idea of this soup. Fantastic share!
My husband would love this dish!!
I love this idea! I am making 2 pounds of carrots for Thanksgiving, so if there are leftovers I will be making this!
What a fantastic way to change up carrots! And that butter…I’d be tempted to drizzle that over popcorn, too.
What a fun idea! I have a bag of carrots in the fridge right now, and I totally need to try this!
I’ve never heard of whipped carrots, what a great idea, they look so good!
Wait. So your parents don’t send you home with tons of leftovers? Guess that’s just my family! I say steal some! Love the idea of whipped carrots and the sriracha butter means the dog will stay far away from it (he sees orange and goes nuts).
I’ve never really thought to whip carrots like this! I love it. I’m really excited now for Friday!
Do you think the same could be done to leftover green bean casserole? I noticed it was absent from all of the Sunday Supper leftover contributions!
Wait. Whipped Carrots are A Thing?! I’ve very excited to try this one.
Great idea to add Sriracha to carrots. They would compliment each other so well!
Awesome recipe! I can’t get my husband to eat carrots, but this might change his mind! Great!
These sound awesome enough to be AT the Thanksgiving table to me. Delicious!
Love this, especially mixed with creamy coconut milk!!
I mean, I put sriracha on ALLTHETHINGS, but I’ve actually never tried them on carrots. This looks amazing, Lauren!
I love the flavors you’ve got going on in this dish!
These sound so good! I need to try them 🙂
I believe this recipe can actually get me to eat carrots!
Love this. Pinned and printed!
Oh my goodness, this sounds so good. I love sriracha in just about anything, but the flavor combination with carrots is too good to pass up. Making this soon!
This sounds incredible! Coconut milk and sriracha is a great combination!
Oh I bet this tastes amazing! Great idea there are always leftover Carrots!
I have not whipped carrots yet! My boys would love it. And I love the coconut and sriracha – fabulous!
This recipe is so very creative. I love that you whipped the carrots. Sriracha takes this recipe over the top. Pinned.
These sound SO good. Coconut milk! Sriracha! I am SOLD.
How clever is this, love that you have spiced up the carrots with sriracha. My hubby would go crazy for this!!
Carrots, sriracha and coconut milk – YES PLEASE!
Oooh, I love something spicy on the Thanksgiving table…so I’d love this on the big day AND after!
Wow that looks amazing! I’ve never heard of mashed carrots, but they sound absolutely delicious. Especially with sriracha–can’t go wrong with that! 😀
