Buttered Carrots Recipe

Buttered Carrots

1. 1

   Prepare the Carrots

   Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform pieces, about 2 inches long, to ensure even cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Carrots

   In a medium saucepan, add the prepared carrots and enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still slightly crisp.

3. 3

   Drain the Carrots

   Once the carrots are cooked, carefully drain them in a colander and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Butter Mixture

   In the same saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine until the sugar has dissolved.

5. 5

   Combine Carrots with Butter

   Add the drained carrots back into the saucepan with the melted butter mixture. Toss the carrots gently to coat them evenly with the butter.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the buttered carrots. Serve warm as a side dish.
