Cooking Hints

- Use evenly sized chunks of vegetables to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- For extra creaminess, add a splash of coconut milk or cream while blending.
- Season with a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to enhance the natural sweetness.

Step 1

Put the carrots and sweet potatoes in a big pot, then cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let everything simmer until the veggies are nice and tender—this usually takes about 20 minutes. Once they're soft, drain the water and let the carrots and potatoes sit for a minute or two so any extra moisture can evaporate.

Step 2

While that's happening, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the applesauce and brown sugar until everything is combined and smooth.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked veggies to a serving bowl and mash them up until you get a creamy texture. Gently fold in the buttery applesauce mixture along with the raisins, and give it one last stir to mix everything together. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Ideas For Family Meals

Serve warm as a side dish with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. It also works well as a base for a hearty stew or topped with fresh herbs and a dollop of yogurt for a light meal.

How To Store This Recipe

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth if the mixture thickens too much. This blend can also be frozen for up to one month.
