Ingredients needed to make vegetable stock.

• Carrots- 3 cups shredded.

How to make Homemade Vegetable Stock Cubes.

• Wash and/or prepare vegetables as needed.
• Preheat a large skillet on medium heat for about a minute. Then add the ingredients except for the seasonings. You can pretreat the skillet with non-stick or up to a tablespoon of oil. Cook the vegetables until softened, stirring. You can add seasonings as needed while the vegetables are cooking.
• Once the vegetables have formed a paste, remove the skillet from the heat. You can transfer the ingredients to a strong blender or food processor to get a smoother consistency if desired.
• To make basic cubes, simply line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper that overhangs the edges of the pan. Evenly spread the mixture and then freeze until hardened. You can then cut into cubes.
• Another option is to simply transfer the mixture to an ice cube tray(s) for freezing to make larger cubes.
