Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them with the garlic and olive oil.
Pour in the water and add the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the carrots to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the water to evaporate and the carrots to get lightly caramelized.
Stir in the unsalted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Toss to combine and coat the carrots evenly.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
