What is the fastest way to grate carrots?

My go-to method for grating carrots in a food processor. It’s faster and easier than a box grater. Start by washing and peeling the carrots, then cut them into small enough pieces that will fit into the food processor chute. Next, attach the grating blade to the food processor and feed the carrot pieces through the chute. The grated carrots will collect in the bowl of the food processor.

When grating carrots with a food processor, it’s important to be mindful of the speed and pulse of the machine. Process the carrots using short pulses until they are evenly grated. Over-processing can turn the grated carrots into mush. It’s also important to not overfill the chute, as this can cause the food processor to clog.

Vegan Carrot Sandwich Cookies

Ingredients needed:
1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/4 cup almond milk
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

For the cream cheese frosting:

4 oz vegan cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup vegan butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups powder sugar

Directions:

Grate the carrots and set aside.

Add the room-temperature vegan butter, pure vanilla extract and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a bowl with a hand-held electric mixer) Mix until combined- the consistency should be creamy and fluffy.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and process until combined. Add the grated carrots and walnuts and mix until combined.

Transfer the dough to a covered bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Slightly flatten the top out with your hands and place on the baking sheet. Place the cookies 2 inches apart because they will expand as they cook.

Bake for 14 minutes or until the sides are golden brown. The cookies will seem soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will firm up as they cool. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack so they can cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, make the vegan cream cheese frosting. Beat the vegan cream cheese, dairy-free butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Spread a generous amount of frosting on the flat side of one cookie (you can also pipe it on) and then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat until all the cookies have been sandwiched together.
