GLAZED PARSLEY CARROTS
This is a French classic, carrots Vichy, or glazed carrots. The idea is simply to cook the carrots with some sugar, water, lemon juice and butter until they are tender and glazed with the melted sugar. Care must be taken to avoid overcooking and burning the sugar mixture.

SAUTEED CARROTS
Steps:
- Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally in 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 6 cups of carrots. Place the carrots, 1/3 cup water, the salt, and pepper in a large (10- to 12-inch) saute pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are just cooked through. Add the butter and saute for another minute, until the water evaporates and the carrots are coated with butter. Off the heat, toss with the dill or parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
ROASTED CARROTS WITH GARLIC PARSLEY BUTTER
Here we toss perfectly roasted carrots with butter that's been infused with garlic and parsley. Instead of the parsley, consider adding basil, crushed red pepper flakes, dill, cumin, or other favorite flavors. The recipe below is more of a template than a strict recipe. Carrots are perfectly delicious roasted, but so are parsnips, squash, potatoes or other hardy vegetable you find in season. Feel free to switch them out for something else.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut carrots into 2 to 3-inch sticks. (Depending on how wide the thicker ends are, you may need to slice each stick in half, lengthwise). Toss carrots onto the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt. Make sure the carrots are coated then spread out into one layer. Roast carrots, stirring twice, until they are tender with edges that are lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While the carrots roast, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Use the back of a large knife to gently crush the garlic clove. Remove the skin then add clove to the butter along with the parsley. Wait until the butter bubbles gently then cook for 1 minute. Slide the pan away from the heat and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic.
- Slide the roasted carrots into a bowl with the garlic parsley butter. Toss then season to taste with additional salt as needed.

Very simple tasty recipe I've used for many, many years. I cut this out of a magazine and have been saving the clipping for a long time.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are too thick or have blemishes.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure there is enough space for them to cook evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of 400°F (200°C).
- Season the carrots well: Before roasting, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender: This will take about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the carrots. The carrots are done when they are easily pierced with a fork.
- Garnish the carrots with parsley: This will add a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Parsleyed carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With their sweet and savory flavor, parsleyed carrots are sure to please everyone at the table.
