Can I reheat glazed carrots?
Glazed carrots can be reheated however it isn’t as simple as tossing them into a microwave. You don’t want hard as rock glaze.
To reheat, add a small amount of butter into a skillet and add carrots over medium heat. Heat all the way through. A little bit of extra butter will help any carrots that are dry.
Can you freeze glazed carrots?
No, they will not return to texture well when reheated once frozen. If you have leftovers from Easter, I would suggest eating them as soon as possible.
