When it comes to mash, it is most certainly not limited to potatoes. Roasted Onion and Carrot Mash is one of my favourite sides and the flavour is simply incredible! Roasting the veggies adds caramelization and intensifies the natural sweetness, so no added sugar is needed. Good anytime, but great served with a holiday turkey dinner!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 2 large onions, peeled and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Transfer the prepared carrots, onions, oil, salt, and ground black pepper to a large mixing bowl and toss well to combine and coat.
- Transfer the veggies to a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 20-30 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender.
- For a chunkier version, transfer the veggies to a large mixing bowl along with the butter, thyme, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a hand-held potato masher to mash the veggies and incorporte the butter and seasonings.
- For a smoother texture, transfer the roasted onions and carrots to a food processor along with the butter, thyme, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until the veggies are smooth and creamy. (I used a food processor to get the results you see in the photographs.)
- Transfer to a serving plate, garnish, and serve.
