This Paleo Carrot Kugel recipe is made with 7 healthy ingredients. All you need for it is carrots, eggs, almond flour, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest. We love serving this healthy kugel for Jewish holidays, especially at Passover.
What is kugel? Kugel is a Yiddish word that describes a sweet or savaory baked pudding or casserole. This type of dish is typically made of egg noodles or potatoes. I made mine with carrots. Why? I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1998. At that point I went on a strict gluten-free diet. That diet eliminated egg noodles. Then, in 2001, I went grain-free and gave up all forms of potatoes. So that eliminated potato kugel for me. Since we love kugel, I created this Paleo Carrot Kugel for my family, and made sure it was something I could eat too.
In case you’re wondering, potatoes are a paleo food, they’re just something I choose not to eat. I cannot digest them well, so this makes sense for me. So, Paleo Carrot Kugel is the answer!
This healthy kugel recipe was inspired by a carrot souffle recipe from one of my readers, Lisa Stafford.
I hope you like this Paleo Carrot Kugel recipe as much as we do. Here are some of my other Paleo Passover recipes!

Thanks, that looks great!
What do you mean by “chopped carrots”?
However i like it!
Or should it resemble noodles?
Vered, thanks for your comment. You chop the carrots so they fit in the steamer basket, then you’ll pulverize them for the kugel :-)
