Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pounds carrots (try to purchase carrots that are large and equal in size to each other. We purchased loose carrots instead of packaged carrots)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped somewhat fine (use half that of dried if you can not find fresh)
Instructions
- Peel and slice the carrots into diagonal slices between one half and three quarters of an inch thick.
- Place a steaming basket into a saucepan or wide skillet and add water until it reaches the bottom of the steaming basket. (You ideally want to avoid having the water seep into the vegetable steamer.)
- Place the carrots into the steamer along with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium simmer and cook covered for 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your carrot slices) or until fork tender. If your carrot slices are thinner, less time will be needed. Don’t overcook.
- Drain the carrots in a colander and return carrots to the pan, adding the butter, remaining salt, black pepper and dill. Stir to coat and serve immediately.
