Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you bake carrot patties in the oven? Gather your ingredients. Scrub the carrots well under running water with a brush. You can use store-bought breadcrumbs or make your own — just dry out some bread in the oven and grind it into fine crumbs. Milk of any fat content will work.
Step 2:

Peel the carrots and grate them on the fine side of a grater.
Step 3:

In a skillet of a suitable size, melt the butter over low heat and add the prepared carrots. Cook the carrots over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Step 4:

Pour the milk into the skillet, add a little salt, and stir. Cook the carrots until soft, keeping the skillet covered and stirring now and then so they cook evenly.
Step 5:

Once the carrots are soft, sprinkle the semolina evenly over the surface. Stir the carrot mixture thoroughly so no semolina lumps form. The semolina makes the carrot mixture more cohesive and the finished patties more filling.
Step 6:

Cook the carrot mixture over low heat, stirring, until the semolina swells and it thickens slightly.
Step 7:

Let the carrot mixture cool. To speed it up, you can transfer it to another dish.
Step 8:

In a small deep bowl, beat the egg with a fork until smooth.
Step 9:

Add the beaten egg to the cooled carrot mixture. Stir well with a spoon.
Step 10:

You'll have a thick, sticky mixture. It barely sticks to your hands, so the patties will be easy to shape.
Step 11:

Shape the carrot mixture into patties of whatever size you like. Spread the breadcrumbs on a shallow, rimmed plate. Coat each patty in the crumbs on both sides. The breading gives the patties a crisp crust.
Step 12:

Grease a baking sheet with butter or vegetable oil. Arrange the shaped patties on it.
Step 13:

Bake the carrot patties in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how your oven runs.
Step 14:

Serve the carrot patties warm or cooled as a dish on their own — with sour cream, or a milk or cream sauce, if you like. Enjoy!

You can also make these carrot patties as a dessert — add grated apple and a little sugar, for example, and serve them with sweet sauces.
Always wash eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
