Simple Carrot Recipes
If you love carrots, here are a bunch of new recipes to try this summer. You’re going to love all of these amazing options. From lunch to dinner and even dessert, try this wide variety of meals.
What is the best way to eat carrots
There are so many options but I love easy prep SO we are going to start with these babies right? You can use “original” and cut yourself or already peeled baby.
Some recipes are better off with the small ones. It is less work on your part for sure but in a stew or stroganoff I will opt for the larger versions. Shredded there are even more possibilities. From baking a cake with them, to throwing some in our veggie muffins the possibilities are endless.
What can I do with all these carrots
If you find them on sale and buy a ton you can literally make them into something new all week long, every night. Shred for muffins or you can slice thin or as thick as you want. Of course the larger chunks you have the longer it will take to get tender. If you’re making a slow cooker stew though you want something quite large.
Nobody wants disintegrated vegetables in their bites. Larger will maintain it’s flavor and provide the dish more texture for Instant Pot chicken and vegetables too.
