Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick rounds or trim into baby carrot-sized pieces, as preferred.
In a large skillet, combine the carrots and water. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender and the water has nearly evaporated.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Stir until melted and coating the carrots.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the carrots and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the carrots. Toss gently to coat.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
Transfer the Lemon Dill Carrots to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
