SAUTéED BABY CARROTS

A couple flips of the pan and these sauteed baby carrots will land right in the plate next to your main dish. These sweet little candied carrots are great served with any kind of meat or fish. Adding a little butter and brown sugar to the carrots almost guarantees the kids will love them. I love sautéing them with long green onions or shallots to give them a little added flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb baby carrots
1 bunch green onions or 2 shallots, chopped
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Clean and peel the carrots leaving the green leafy tops.
  • Par boil the carrots for 5 minutes.
  • In a small frying pan sauté onions in the oil and butter for 2 minutes.
  • Add carrots and sauté another 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook another minute.
  • Plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots are the best choice for sautéing, as they are tender and cook quickly. If you are using larger carrots, be sure to cut them into thin slices or strips.
  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will have a sweeter and more flavorful taste than frozen or canned carrots.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing carrots, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than sauté.
  • Use a high-quality oil: A good quality oil, such as olive oil or avocado oil, will help to bring out the flavor of the carrots and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the carrots: Before sautéing the carrots, be sure to season them with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots are done cooking when they are tender but still have a slight crunch to them. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.

Conclusion:

Sautéed baby carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are quick and easy to make, and they are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make sautéed baby carrots that are tender, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.
