Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If needed, trim the tops and peel the carrots.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the baby carrots, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cover the saucepan. Allow the carrots to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the water from the saucepan and return the carrots to the pan.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir gently over medium heat until the butter is melted and coats the carrots evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and black pepper over the carrots. Stir gently to combine and evenly distribute the parsley.
Step 7
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the parsleyed baby carrots to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
