- These roasted carrots are best eaten immediately when tender and flavorful.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing is possible for up to 3 months, but texture may suffer upon reheating.
- Reheat carrots in broth on low heat to retain moisture and re-season if needed.
- Regular carrots or pre-packaged baby carrots can be substituted as preferred.
- Leaving about 1 inch of green stem on carrots can enhance their presentation.
