[NEW] No-bake Pecan Carrot Bars

If you have a spiralizer, you can use the ricing option to make carrot “rice” as an alternative to grating the carrots. Play around with the balance of nuts, nut butters, and dried fruit to make it your own. Look for nut butters that have one ingredient (nuts!) and dried fruit that is either unsweetened or juice-sweetened to keep the nutrition high and the added sugar low. If you're not in the mood for a frozen treat, bake these at 375ºF for 25-30 minutes until bubbling for a hot pudding-like dish.

Chef's Practical Notes

Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
