Instructions
- In a food processor, add the carrots and garlic and blend until finely minced.

Notes
- If using a blender, I recommend grating the carrots first to give them a head start. Then, add all the ingredients at the same time and blend together, adding water gradually if needed for desired texture.
- The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
