A delightful and comforting carrot casserole with a savory herb topping, perfect for a cozy meal for two.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect bake.
Place about an inch of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until they are tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Don't overcook the carrots to maintain their texture.
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the green pepper and onion until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper to the skillet and mix until smooth. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Whisking continuously ensures a smooth and creamy sauce.
Add the parsley, savory, and cooked carrots to the sauce. Mix well and transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.
For extra flavor, you can add grated cheese to the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden on top.
Keep an eye on the casserole to prevent over-browning.
Serve the casserole warm and enjoy your comforting meal.
Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
