Notes
- Depending on the size of your carrots, the cook time may vary. Keep that in mind when you're making them and add another 1 minute or so of cook time if necessary for larger carrots.
- If you're using whole carrots and don't want to peel them, be sure to clean them very well. Even if they're washed at the store, whole carrots tend to come with dirt or debris, because they grow underground.
- You can use baby carrots if you prefer. I also like to use rainbow carrots for a fun presentation.
- If you're using baby carrots, you don't need to peel or clean them. You may want to rinse them, though, as sometimes baby carrots get a little sticky in the fridge.
