You can use these baby cut carrots in many ways. For a quick side, steam them until tender-crisp and toss with a little butter or olive oil. Roasting brings out their sweetness; toss them with your favorite herbs and spices and roast in a hot oven until slightly caramelized. They are also excellent added directly to simmering stews, casseroles, or pasta sauces, where they will cook down and absorb the flavors of the dish.
