You can always chop some up and freeze for later. I just chop and bag - no need to blanche.

i always keep my veg in my fridge and i often find carrots last 3 weeks at least before they even started to go shrivelled, so you may not need to use them all straight away.

Carrot crisps - Heat your oven to 180C. Get baking tray and put lots of salt over the base and thinly slice your carrots (cut them on a slant to get a nice sized crisp). Arrange them over the baking tray and lightly drizzle with olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper. Place in the oven until crisp. keep an eye on them because they'll frazzle quickly if left!!!!!

I've got loadsa carrots and am busily writing down recipes/ideas from this thread as to how to use them.

Re this one above - has anyone got any idea how long I would have to cook them for purlease? (to save me checking them every 5 minutes). I've never done vegetable crisps before...:D

I've just boiled and mashed enough carrots (with a bit of swede mixed in) for 24 portions - now sitting on the worktop cooling down before being put in the freezer.
Tomorrow, i'll start on preparing more for soup and even after having some for veg tomorrow lunchtime, I'll still have some over.....looks like orange hands for a bit longer

If you've got a garden, no room in your freezer and don't want to waste them, you can always put them in a shallow trench, cover them up with earth and just pull a few out at a time as you need them. That will keep them fresh and stop them drying out. Alternatively put them in a bucket or bowl in a shed or garage and cover with slightly moist peat.
