No. Ask:

Did you clean and peel the carrots?

Clean = scrub the dirt off the vegetable
Peel = remove the outer layer of skin or natural covering of fruit. (Peel potatoes, onions, apples, etc.)

It is possible to use "or."

You can use clean and peeled as adjectives:

I ate a peeled carrot.
I ate a clean, peeled carrot.

Peel and clean are verbs here:
I did peel the carrot.
Did you clean the carrot before you peeled
