Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the carrots to the skillet and toss them in the butter and garlic mixture until coated evenly.
Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the carrots simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Stir in the chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, tossing the carrots to evenly distribute the dill and seasoning.
Transfer the dilled carrots to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
