Sauteed Carrots
Description
If you’ve been looking for a quick and easy way to cook carrots that tastes scrumptious, Sautéed Carrots are for you! They’re perfectly tender and the ideal mix of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into diagonal, 1/4-inch-thick slices
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter use coconut oil to make vegan
- 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup optional
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs of choice: parsley, dill, and thyme are all delicious
Directions
- In a large saute pan or deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid, place the carrots, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots just reach fork tender (don’t let them turn mushy).
- Uncover, add the butter and honey, and stir and cook until the water evaporates (and the coconut oil melts, if using). Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the herbs. Add a finishing sprinkle of salt or pepper to taste. Enjoy hot.
