A two-ingredient wrap that swaps flour for carrots. On paper it promises a low-calorie, gluten-free base for rolling up fillings. In practice the batter falls apart easily in the pan, which is worth knowing before you try it.
Method
Peel the carrots and cut them into small pieces.
Put the carrots and eggs in a food processor.
Process until the mixture is completely liquid.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Pour in the mixture and spread it into a thin layer.
Once the underside has set, carefully flip it and cook the other side.
Add any filling you like and roll it up.

Tips
- The smaller you cut the carrots, the smoother the batter will be.
- In the video the wrap broke apart when flipped; adding an extra egg and 1 tbsp of oats did not fix it.
FAQ
Does a carrot wrap actually work?
Not in the video's attempt: the batter didn't hold together in the pan and the wrap couldn't be flipped.
