  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Carrots:

  • 1 lb (450g) baby carrots (or regular carrots, peeled and cut into sticks)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or your favorite herb)

Instructions

Prepare the Carrots

  1. Boil the Carrots: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the baby carrots and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter

  1. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the Garlic: Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Combine and Serve

  1. Add Carrots: Add the drained carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter.
  2. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
  3. Garnish: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
