Cooking Baby Carrots Tips

  • Baby carrots may be crunchy and sweet raw, but try plunging them into boiling water and cooking them 15 to 20 minutes, until fork-tender.
  • When you are ready to serve them, reheat them with a little butter and brown sugar, and maybe some grated orange peel for added elegance. It totally changes the character.

Health Tidbit:
Cooked carrots actually contain more antioxidants than fresh? Cooked carrots do not lose their nutritional value, and may contain more health-giving properties than crunchy raw carrots, according to University of Arkansas researchers.
