How long can they be stored? About 4 months, if kept properly.
Usage suggestions:
- Eat fresh - if they're freshly harvested, the skins will be thin. Scrub off the skins with a scrubby. To stretch them, I grate them and toss them into a salad. This is especially helpful during the times when you receive smaller carrots from the garden
- Cook - You can dice them or cut them julienne style - they're good if you saute them in a little oil, until they turn a bit brown. Try adding a little thyme to the mix. You can also steam them lightly.
- Roast - Roasted veggies are very easy. Toss the veggies in olive oil, place them in a single layer in a glass baking dish (uncovered) and pop them into the oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until brown. I like to roast at 375 or 400 but watch it - sometimes they'll cook really quickly.
- Add to pot roast or to a chicken while baking. When I add root veggies to a chicken, I'll toss them in during the last 30 - 45 minutes of baking, alongside the meat.
