Notes
Storage and reheating instructions:
Store any leftover roasted carrots in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
You can reheat them in a 350°F oven covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes or until warmed through. Reheat them using a microwave safe dish for 30 second intervals or in the skillet on the stove over a medium heat until warmed through. Check that you are not overcooking them while reheating as they will become mushy.
