Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Rinse and trim the baby carrots, if needed.
In a medium saucepan, add the baby carrots and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender. Drain any excess water and set the carrots aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir in the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Add the cooked carrots back to the saucepan and toss them gently in the dill butter until evenly coated.
Transfer the dill-buttered carrots to a serving dish and serve warm.
