Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan in a single layer, and cook them for about 5 minutes without stirring, allowing them to get a slight caramelization on one side.
Stir the carrots, then add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet, continuing to cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, yet slightly crisp.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the carrots.
Transfer the sauteed carrots to a serving dish and serve immediately.
