Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the carrots to approximately 1/4-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt until it starts to foam.
Mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir well to coat the carrots evenly with butter and garlic.
Sprinkle thyme over the carrots and season with salt and black pepper.
Continue to cook, while stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until the carrots are tender yet slightly crisp. Test with a fork for your desired level of doneness.
Once the carrots are cooked through, remove from heat and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish with your favorite keto-friendly main course.
