Ingredients for Carrot Pecan Pie:

Carrots - 1 1/2 lbs. (peeled, halved vertically, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)

Salt - as needed

Coconut oil - 1 tbsp. (melted)

Sweetened condensed milk - 1 (14-oz) can

Vanilla Extract - 2 1/2 tsp.

Eggs - 3

Unsalted butter - 1/2 stick

Light brown sugar - 1/2 cup

Pie crust - 1 9-inch crust

Chopped pecans - 2/3 cup

Ground cinnamon - 1 tsp.

Method of preparing the Carrot Pecan Pie:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
Toss the carrots in coconut oil and a pinch of salt and arrange them on the baking sheet. Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes – the carrots should be lightly browned and soft. Let cool.
Place the carrots in a food processor and process until as smooth as possible.
Transfer the blended carrots to a large bowl and add the condensed milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Beat in 2 eggs and set aside.
In a small pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until melted. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool for a couple of minutes. Add the last egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Lay the pie crust into a pie dish. Add the carrot mixture to the prepared pie crust. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the carrot layer and spread evenly. Top with pecans.
Bake for 40-45 minutes – the carrot portion should be just about set in the middle. Allow the pie to cool completely, then place in the fridge.
