This is a nice side dish to the broiled tilapia on my meal plan. I chose fish for Friday out of respect for any/all celebrating the Lenten season. I just broil mine with a bit of lemon juice.
I often find that making one dish that requires prep work combined with one dish that requires no prep work helps my dinners come together quickly. Golden Carrot Bake is a substantial whole food side dish that really compliments a simple main dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2/3 cup uncooked brown rice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

This looks interesting! I’ve never had anything like it. Is it like a quiche?
Nancy, I asked my family if they thought the carrot bake was like a quiche. My husband said, “It is like a quiche. Like a really good quiche.”
I do think a quiche is as close to a description as I can think of. If you try it, let me know what you think! Andrea
