Notes
Cut Carrots Evenly
When you're cutting up your carrots, be sure that they're as close in size as possible, mainly so that the biggest pieces from the top of the carrots (if using large carrots) are cut in half so they cook all of the way through.
Storage
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Substitutions
Carrots: You can absolutely use baby carrots too.
Walnuts: Pecans are another delicious choice!
Butter: Make it vegan by using your favorite dairy-free butter, or oil.
