Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots to the skillet.
Step 3
Sauté the carrots for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth. Stir to combine, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and most of the broth has evaporated.
Step 5
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to medium-high. Season the carrots with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots have a slight golden color.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the carrots to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
