Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If needed, trim the tops and peel the carrots.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the baby carrots, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cover the saucepan. Allow the carrots to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the water from the saucepan and return the carrots to the pan.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir gently over medium heat until the butter is melted and coats the carrots evenly.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and black pepper over the carrots. Stir gently to combine and evenly distribute the parsley.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the parsleyed baby carrots to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
