Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into even-sized slices or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, add the cumin seeds. Stir and toast them for 1-2 minutes, until they are fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and cumin seeds.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots steam for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow any excess water to evaporate.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the cooked carrots and toss lightly for a pop of freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own!
