Freeze it Again?
If you used raw frozen vegetables for this dish it’s okay to freeze it one more time. That’s because, generally, you can freeze food once raw and once again cooked.
Refrigerate: Transfer your delectable honey-roasted carrots to an airtight container once completely cooled. Safely store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Freeze: Cool the vegetables thoroughly. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, removing as much air as possible. Store frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat: For best results, place in a preheated 190Ā°C (375Ā°F) oven for 8-10 minutes. Watch them carefully or they’ll crisp too much. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but with this method they’ll go a little soggy and change the texture.
