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:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh baby carrots. If using frozen carrots, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To save time, peel and chop the carrots ahead of time and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have a vegetable peeler, you can use a sharp knife to peel the carrots.
  • To make sure the carrots are evenly cooked, cut them into uniform pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the carrots. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Stir the carrots frequently while cooking to prevent them from burning.
  • Season the carrots with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
  • Serve the carrots immediately as a side dish or snack.

Sautéed baby carrots are a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. They are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can have a delicious and healthy side dish that the whole family will enjoy.
