A simple and delicious way to prepare Fresh Carrots with Butter and Dill.
There is just ‘something’ about the combination of fresh carrots with butter and dill that everyone loves when we serve this dish – and it’s so quick and easy too! Carrots are great on their own, but the dill and butter combination adds just the right taste to complement this root vegetable.
Steaming is one of the best ways to prepare fresh vegetables since it helps preserve more of the nutrients than boiling. Just be sure to avoid over cooking the carrots – the perfect doneness is when the carrots are fork tender but not too soft.
