Description

To freeze carrots, simply wash them and trim the ends. Cut them into desired shapes or leave them whole. Place the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for several hours, or until solid. Once frozen, transfer the carrots to a freezer-safe bag or container.

Frozen carrots can be thawed in the refrigerator overnight or under cool running water. They can be used in soups, stews, casseroles, salads, and smoothies. Frozen carrots are also a great addition to smoothies for a boost of vitamins and nutrients.

Tips for cooking frozen carrots:

  • Wash the carrots thoroughly before cutting them.

  • Cut the carrots into small pieces so that they freeze quickly.

  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet when freezing the carrots.

  • Once the carrots are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container.

  • Label the bag or container with the date and contents.
