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)

Prepare the Carrots
- 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
- Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- 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

- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
