Favorite Buttered Baby Carrots

Step 1

Rinse off the carrots (because they’ve usually been sitting in water in the bag).

Step 2

Add to a medium pan with 1/4 cup water and the butter over high heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.

Step 3

Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until just tender when poked with a knife. (It may take a few more minutes depending on the thickness of the carrots.)

Step 4

Remove the cover and cook for 2-4 minutes to let the remaining liquid cook off.

Step 5

Sprinkle with salt and/or honey, as desired.
