At my home, my favorite way to preserve the harvest from our garden is by dehydrating. It takes a lot less work and takes up a lot less space when you dehydrate. For example, if you were to open up a store-bought can of peas and dehydrate the peas, that entire can would fit into 1/3 cup measuring cup. And when you dehydrate your items, they are preserved for a LONG time (years).
To dehydrate carrots, wash the carrots, peel them and cut off the ends.
I save the carrot peelings and feed them to our chickens and rabbits.
Then cut the carrots into small chunks and place in your dehydrator.
I just turn on my dehydrator when I go to bed and it is done in the morning.
To rehydrate the carrots, just put them in hot water for 15 minutes or just toss into your favorite soup, stew, or casserole. I also use my dehydrated veggies in my "meal-in-a-jar" recipes (such as my Chicken & Rice Soup mix in a jar).
