Tag: freezing carrots

You can freeze carrots by washing them, cutting them into your preferred shape, and blanching them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. After blanching and draining, lay the carrots on a tray and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them into labeled resealable freezer bags. Blanched carrots can be used within a year.

When cooking frozen carrots, there is no need to defrost them. They can be added directly to dishes like stews, casseroles, and pasta bakes, or boiled for 5-8 minutes. They can also be roasted, pan-fried, or microwaved.
