Here are a few veggies that make really amazing desserts. You'll never look at them quite the same way again!
1. Carrots
All you have to do is prep carrots a little differently, and this sweet root vegetable is easily transformed into dessert. With the help of a vegetable peeler, thin carrot strips are the main star of an upside-down carrot carrot cake, while grated carrot can be mixed into rice pudding or Indian halwa.2. Sweet Potatoes
The name says it all. These sweet spuds have a place at the table all day long, including dessert, so consider this just one more reason to bake a big batch of sweet potatoes at the beginning of the week. Once they're baked and puréed, add to smoothies and shakes; mix into cakes, bread pudding, and custardy soufflés; or layer on puff pastry for a simple tart.3. Parsnips
Now that you know how to turn carrots into dessert, go ahead and give parsnips the very same treatment. These sweet, white root veggies can be used in all the same ways you'd use carrots. Add grated parsnip to cakes and cookies, or turn it into an Indian-inspired parsnip halwa.4. Beets
The next time you're baking up a chocolate cake or batch of cupcakes, consider stirring in roasted beet purée. These earthy root vegetables are packed with a ton of natural sugar that concentrates even more when roasted. Beets are famous for enhancing chocolate's richness with a boost of natural sweetness.
