How to Freeze Carrots

Instructions for how to freeze carrots for future recipes. Diced, sliced, shredded - all good.

Prep Time 5 mins

Start a large pot of water to boil.
Wash and peel your carrots. Remove the ends.
Cut your carrots into desired size (shredded, sliced, diced, or keep whole).
Set up a large bowl of ice water on the counter near the stove.
Add carrots to boiling water. Set a timer. 2 Minutes for shredded, sliced, or diced carrots. 5 minutes for whole carrots. (Don't forget to set the timer - accuracy is important here!)
When the timer goes off, remove the carrots from the boiling water and add directly into the ice water.
Once carrots are chilled, spread on a towel to dry more.
Spread dried carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (could also use a silicon mat).
Freeze for 2-4 hours.
Remove from freezer. Place carrots in airtight container such as a Ziplock bag. Label and date. Return to freezer.
