Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots to the pan in a single layer, and cook them for about 5 minutes without stirring, allowing them to get a slight caramelization on one side.
Step 5
Stir the carrots, then add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet, continuing to cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, yet slightly crisp.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the carrots.
Step 8
Transfer the sauteed carrots to a serving dish and serve immediately.
