Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, roughly 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking.
In a large sauté pan or skillet, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Add the carrots to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a fork. Drain any remaining water.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the pan with the cooked carrots. Stir to coat the carrots evenly as the butter melts.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped dill over the carrots. Toss well to combine and ensure the carrots are fully coated in the dill butter mixture.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the dill buttered carrots to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
