Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young carrots: Look for carrots that are bright orange in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will prevent the carrots from becoming too salty. If you only have salted butter, be sure to adjust the amount of salt you add to the recipe.
  • Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Add the chives at the end of cooking: This will help them retain their flavor and color.
