Storage Tips for Glaze Carrots
After enjoying a delicious meal with candied carrots, you might find yourself with leftovers. Don’t worry, they store well and can be enjoyed later!
MAKE AHEAD: This candied carrots recipe is a great option for meal prep. You can make a batch ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat the carrots on the stovetop or in the microwave.
IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftover candied carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to five days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat them on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
IN THE FREEZER: While freezing these brown sugar carrots is possible, we don’t recommend it. The texture of the carrots can become mushy once thawed, and the glaze may separate. For the best quality, enjoying your candied carrots within the refrigerator storage time is best.
REHEATING: To reheat your candied carrots, you can use either the stovetop or the microwave.
