Here’s a simple and delicious 3-ingredient carrot and mozzarella dish you can make in about 15 minutes. It works as a side dish, light lunch, or quick snack. 🥕🧀
Ingredients
- 2–3 medium Carrot
- 120–150 g Mozzarella
- 1–2 tablespoons Olive Oil
(Salt or herbs are optional, but the dish technically works with just these three.)
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots
- Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds or strips.
- Cook the carrots
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the carrots and sauté for 6–8 minutes until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add mozzarella
- Tear or slice the mozzarella and place it over the hot carrots in the pan.
- Cover for 1–2 minutes so the cheese melts.
- Serve
- Gently mix or leave the melted mozzarella on top and serve warm.
Optional Flavor Boosts (if you want)
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
- Fresh basil or parsley
- A drizzle of honey for sweet contrast
- Chili flakes for heat 🌶️
✅ Tip:
For a slightly roasted flavor, you can also bake sliced carrots with olive oil at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20 minutes, then add mozzarella for the last 5 minutes until melted.
