Things you will need to make carrot oil at home

* Next, pour some olive oil into the jar, and when it reaches the brim, close the lid.
* Store this jar in a cool, dark place for at least a week.
* When you notice that the oil has turned orange (the colour of the grated carrot), strain it and then transfer it into a clean container.
