You could try carrot cake, or cole slaw, carrot juice, glazed carrots, carrot and celery sticks, or add some to a baked chicken or roast.
Peel, and using a food processor, grind down about two cups worth and add to a meatloaf recipe. The veggies will help keep the meatloaf very moist.
I had a creamed carrot dish for Thanksgiving and it was delicious.

You could blanche them and freeze them for future use.
I love carrots with Rotel Cheese Dip. Rotel is a brand of tomatoes and green chilies found in a can. You chuck cut a half a block of Velveeta and add the can of Rotel then microwave melt it. Ready for dipping.
A favorite of my granddaughters are deep fried carrots. Slice about 1/2 thick slant cuts, bread in tempura batter and deep fry until breading is golden brown. I also deep fry mushrooms, califlower and thick sliced green tomatoes.
How about in a smoothie? Put a handful of carrots, a banana, and some kind of milk (cow's milk, almond milk, rice milk, etc.) in a blender and puree it. The carrots are pretty sweet, but you could add a little honey or stevia sweeten it up.
Put some in a soup or salad for an excellent addition of flavor and nutrition.
Partially cook the carrots then use them the same way you'd make sweet potato casserole. Cook and puree them and use the puree like you were making a pumpkin pie, use same spice and you'll never know the difference.
Here is a carrot soup that is good
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
4 cups shredded carrots
4 cups chopped potatoes
4 quarts water
2 cans of ANY creamed soup
COPPER PENNY SALAD
2 pounds sliced carrots-cooked
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 onions-separated into rings
DRESSING
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup veg oil
1 tsp dry mustard
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp pepper
1 can tomatoe soup
1/4 tsp dill weed
Mix together and bring to boil. Pour over vegetables and marinate 6-8 hours.
Carrot raisin slaw, if you have toddlers around, boil a bag of baby carrots, drain, cool, and keep in fridge, a healthy snack instead of candy, younguns don't chew raw carrots very well.
I love just about any extra fresh veggies dipped in ranch dip as a snack or appetizer. Just get sour cream and a package of Good Seasons dry ranch dip mix. I just put the amount of sour cream I'll need in a small bowl and stir in the seasoning mix to taste.
