Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Carrots
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large skillet, add the water and carrots. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still firm. Drain any excess water and set the carrots aside.
Return the skillet to the stove and lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Swirl the pan occasionally as the butter begins to foam and turns golden brown, releasing a nutty aroma. This should take about 3-4 minutes; watch carefully to avoid burning.
Once the butter is browned, return the cooked carrots to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly in the browned butter.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
Stir gently to combine and serve warm as a side dish.
