Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 2 medium Turnip
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and turnips. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches, to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket inside. Make sure the water level is below the basket to avoid boiling the vegetables.
Add the prepared root vegetables to the steamer basket, spreading them out evenly. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Steam the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the vegetables are steaming, finely chop the fresh dill. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the dill, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the vegetables are done steaming, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dill butter over the steamed vegetables. Gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with an extra sprinkle of dill, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
