Additional baking time will be required to reach the desired tenderness if you’re using regular carrots. Increase baking time in 5-minute increments.
Storage
First, allow carrots to cool before storing in a container. Then, store the leftover cooked carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Reheat in a skillet: add a little oil to a skillet and warm the leftovers for 3-5 minutes, until warm.
Reheat in the oven: drizzle the carrots with a little oil in a baking dish, and bake them at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
