Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads


🥕 Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (about 180 g) grated carrots (finely grated)
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a heartier version)
  • ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite meltable cheese)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or water (as needed)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots
    • Grate carrots finely using a box grater or food processor.
    • Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels (important for texture).
  2. Make the Dough
    • In a large bowl, combine grated carrots, flour, shredded cheese, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and any herbs.
    • Mix until a soft dough forms.
    • If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon or two of milk or water; if too sticky, add a little more flour.
  3. Shape the Flatbreads
    • Divide the dough into 4–6 equal portions.
    • Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a round or oval (about ¼ inch thick).
    • Lightly flour your surface if needed.
  4. Cook the Flatbreads
    • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Brush lightly with olive oil.
    • Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Add more oil as needed between batches.
  5. Serve
    • Serve warm — the cheese will be slightly melty and the edges golden!

Serving Ideas

Serve these cheesy carrot flatbreads with:

  • Greek yogurt or tzatziki
  • Hummus or baba ganoush

Tips & Variations

  • Cheese options: Sharp cheddar gives the most flavor, but mozzarella or parmesan also work well.
  • Add-ins: Try mixing in a pinch of cumin, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
  • Freeze: Stack between parchment sheets and freeze up to 1 month — reheat straight from frozen.
