What you need:
• Unwashed carrots
• Extra virgin olive oil or liquid coconut oil
• Grater
• A clean glass jar
• A clean bowl
Directions:
1. Peel carrots. Do not wash them. If they’re wet, dry them thoroughly or leave them to completely dry without a drop of water before proceeding further.
2. Next, grate your peeled carrots into a bowl. Transfer them into a clean glass jar.
3. Fill up the jar with your oil of choice (extra virgin olive oil, liquid coconut oil, etc). Make sure the jar is filled to the top of the jar with oil and cover jar tightly. This prevents any air in the jar that will make the oil rancid. Now store your jar in a warm area and leave it there for about 2 weeks. Shake the jar everyday to allow the nutrients of the carrots to infuse into the oil.
4. After 2 weeks, strain the oil using a fine plastic mesh strainer or sieve into another clean jar. Use a funnel to avoid spillage.
5. And your homemade carrot oil is ready for use! Label it ‘homemade carrot oil’ and mark the date. Store it in a cool dry place like the refrigerator to lengthen its shelf life.
