Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: To save time, slice the carrots up to one day ahead of time.
  • To Store: Keep leftover carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • To Freeze: Place carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet and flash freeze for a couple of hours. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 9 to 10 months.
  • To Reheat: To get the carrots crispy, pop them back in a 325℉ air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes. You can use the microwave, but they will get soggy.
