Carrots are versatile root vegetables that have been cultivated for over 5,000 years [2].

One quick and easy recipe that utilizes carrots is the Carrot Cake in a Mug, which only takes 3 minutes to make in the microwave [1].

This recipe calls for basic ingredients such as flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, butter, milk, and shredded carrot, and can be customized with additional toppings like whipped cream, confectioners' sugar, or cream cheese frosting.

In addition to desserts, carrots can be used in savory dishes as well, such as Buttery Maple Cinnamon Instant Pot Carrots [3]. Rich in nutrients like beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamin K, carrots are a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
