Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into evenly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the carrot slices to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan with a lid.
Steam the carrots for about 8–10 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Drain any excess water from the pan and return it to the stove.
Add the butter to the pan with the cooked carrots and stir until the butter has melted completely.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper over the buttered carrots, and toss to combine evenly.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from heat and serve the parsley carrots warm as a side dish.
