Storing leftovers: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer to the fridge overnight.
Reheating: gently rewarm carrots in a saute pan over medium heat with a splash of honey and oil. Or, transfer to a sheet tray and warm in a preheated 450 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
