Directions
Step 1: Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 2: Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook until they are tender but not too soft, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 3: Carefully remove the carrots from the water, and cut them in half crosswise.
Step 4: Place each carrot half in a zip-top bag and seal it.
Step 5: Put the sealed bags in the freezer and allow the carrots to freeze for at least 2 hours.
Step 6: Once frozen, store the carrots in the freezer until ready to use.
Cook's Note
When your baby is teething, take one of the frozen carrots out and give it to them. As they chew, the carrot will defrost and melt in their mouth because it is pre-cooked.
