Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to retain texture.
  • Freezing: While freshly made carrots taste best, you can freeze them for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Pairing: These carrots pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even as part of a veggie platter.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like parsley or dill for new flavor profiles.
  • Presentation: Garnish with additional tarragon or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a touch of elegance.
