Prepare the Carrots

Peel and chop 3 large carrots into small chunks. The size doesn't have to be perfect, but aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking and blending.

Blend the Carrots and Orange Juice

5

Sweeten and Chill the Mixture

Add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to the carrot and orange mixture. Blend again to incorporate the sweetener. Then, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.

Churn the Sorbet
