Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and have a bright orange color. Avoid carrots that are wilted, limp, or have brown spots.
  • Peel the carrots if desired: Peeling the carrots will give them a more refined look, but it is not necessary. If you do peel the carrots, be sure to use a sharp vegetable peeler.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into rounds, slices, or baby carrots.
  • Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter will allow you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you use salted butter, be sure to taste the carrots before adding additional salt.
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary, will add flavor to the carrots. You can add the herbs whole or chopped.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

Herb-buttered baby carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a healthy snack that is packed with nutrients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or a healthy snack, herb-buttered baby carrots are a great option.
