Buttered Carrots Recipe

Buttered Carrots Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Carrots

   Wash the carrots under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Cut the carrots into even-size pieces, about 1-inch long for uniform cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Carrots

   In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Add the prepared carrots and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the carrots are tender but still slightly firm. Drain the carrots and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Butter Sauce

   In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined and the sugar has dissolved.

4. 4

   Combine Carrots and Sauce

   Add the drained carrots back into the pot with the butter mixture. Toss the carrots gently to coat them evenly with the buttery sauce.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove the pot from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the carrots for garnish. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
