4. Vegan Carrot cake

With Veganism becoming increasingly popular, I thought I’d include a vegan carrot cake in this list so as to try and cater for everyone this fall. Using dairy-free milk and butter and coconut cream icing instead of the traditional cream cheese icing, this recipe is a tasty twist on a classic cake. Go to the GoodFood website for the recipe.

5. Gluten-free cake

A gluten-free diet s also one that shouldn’t be free of cake, especially carrot cake. Sometimes by making a cake by using gluten-free flour, like in this one, it can affect the flavour and texture. But the carrots in the cake ensure it stays moist and has a nice texture, so carrot cake is a good place to start in gluten-free cooking. Click here for the recipe.

6. Carrot, parmesan and chilli fries

By using carrots instead of the traditional potato for chips, you get that lovely chip shape and consistency but with a nice sweet vegetable flavour. You can use other hard cheeses, as parmesan isn’t vegetarian or everybody’s taste. These fries will make a lovely addition as a side with loads of fall dishes.

7. Carrot, halloumi and dill balls

With the sweet, earthy flavour of the carrot, the salty crumbly halloumi and the fresh zesty taste fo dill, these balls will make a delicious addition to any fall meal or could make an excellent canape. Go to the Olive Magazine website for the recipe.
