  6. The next day, setup a mini smoker with foil and wood chips. Light your wood chips until a flame holds, allow to burn slightly and then gently extinguish. Cover securely.
  7. In ten minute, increments, re-light the wood chips 3 more times or until desired smokiness is reached. When carrots are done, remove from the “smoker” and place between two pieces of parchment. With a heavy ‘mallet’ smash the carrots flat.
