Yes, carrots can be a sweet and delicious confection...especially Carrot Beignets. Fried to perfection, you will taste a hint of vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar that blend elegantly with the carrots.
Cut the carrots into small chunks.
In a pot, boil the carrots until they are tender.
Mash the carrots in a large bowl.
Add eggs, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon; beat well.
Add flour and blend until a soft dough forms.
Add a little more flour if necessary.
Drop by tablespoonful into hot oil set at a consistent 350 degrees.
Fry until golden on both sides.
