   • Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
   • Add the carrots to the boiling water and let them simmer for about 5 minutes with the lid on, but slightly ajar.

2. Drain and Process:

   • Once the veggies are tender, drain them and return them to the same pot.
   • Stir over medium heat for a minute or two to remove any excess moisture.
   • Transfer the cooked veggies to a food processor and add the sweet unsalted butter.

3. Whip it Up:

   • Process the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, resembling mashed potatoes in texture.

4. Season to Perfection:

   • Season the whipped veggies with nutmeg to taste, along with salt and pepper for added flavor.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

Tips:
