To use, simply drain the carrots from their liquid. You can add them directly to simmering dishes like soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to heat them through. For a simple side, you can warm them gently in a saucepan with a touch of butter or a drizzle of olive oil, perhaps with a pinch of herbs. They are also a good addition to pot pies or vegetable medleys, providing a soft texture and mild sweetness.
