Carrot cake. Carrot muffins. Sliced & pickled. Add to other grated veg like cabbage, make veg pancakes.
Lacto fermented carrots. Shredded carrot salad with miso ginger sesame dressing.
also carrot goes well in coleslaw
pickled into cold Asian noodle salads
Moroccan salads (couscous is very warm weather friendly, and raw shredded carrots go well in that too)
If you’re doing a salty ground meat like beyond beef, add shredded carrot while cooking to stretch it. The flavour and texture are good enough. Generally shredding carrot and adding handfuls on things helps me use it in things like rice bowls.
It goes well in bean burgers but I haven’t done it recently enough to have a recipe)
You said no soup or else I’d share mine - it is so fast that little heat happens so I do it in summer.
In cold noodle salad (julienned is best but I chop or grate)
With peanut sauce dip (peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, sriracha)
Muffins/loaf/bread
In coleslaw
I’m a fan of carrots glazed in marmalade, where ‘glazed’ might be overstating the matter a little. It’s literally boiling the carrots and then while they’re hot dumping them in with some orange marmalade mixed with lemon juice and a little nutmeg and giving the whole thing a stir. Good both warm and cold.
I love them super slow roasted with a smoky marinade and then shaved on bagels like lox.
ETA also just a shout out to cut up veggies and dip. Having a Tupperware of cut up carrots, celery, and broccoli and a thing of ranch dip around all the time has drastically increased the amount of veggies we eat and we are vegetarians who eat a lot of veggies. (Obviously you know about carrot sticks, but the ease of just having them cut up and ready and not having to decide to cut them up when things are busy and I cant muster the brain power to figure out what to make has been so nice.)
Shredded carrot, apple, and raisin salad.
