How to store: Place cooled roasted carrots into an airtight container or large Ziploc bag and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat in the oven at 350℉ for 10-15 minutes, or in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes until heated through. You can also reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warm, stirring continuously.
