THIS IS one of my favorite ways to prepare carrots-simple but flavorful. I devised this recipe since we always seem to have carrots on hand, and the dish has drawn quite a few compliments.

Tips for Making the Best Quick Carrots with Garlic and Basil:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. If you can find organic carrots, even better!
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline slicer, use it to get perfectly uniform slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many carrots to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor to the carrots. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of vegetable oil, such as canola oil or grapeseed oil.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: They should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.
  • Add the garlic and basil at the end: This will prevent them from burning. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately: Quick carrots with garlic and basil are best served fresh. They can be reheated, but they will lose some of their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Quick carrots with garlic and basil is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you're looking for a quick and easy side dish that's both healthy and flavorful, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
