- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your dish cooks evenly and to perfection.

Prepare Carrots: Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. In a pot of boiling salted water, add the carrot slices and cook until they are tender. Once done, drain the carrots and transfer them to a 6 by 10 inch baking dish, creating an even layer.

Prepare Flavorful Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onions, horseradish, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and water. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Pour Mixture Over Carrots: Pour the prepared mixture evenly over the carrots in the baking dish. Ensure that the carrots are well coated with the flavorful mixture, as this will infuse them with deliciousness during baking.
-
Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and melted butter until they form a crumbly mixture. This will serve as the delectable topping for your dish.
-
Add Topping: Sprinkle the buttery bread crumb mixture generously over the top of the carrot mixture in the baking dish. This adds a delightful crunch and richness to the dish.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the carrots are tender. Keep an eye on the dish as it bakes to prevent overcooking.
