Sauteed Carrots
These sauteed carrots are crispy on the outside and soft and tender inside. This quick and easy recipe is made entirely in one skillet. Great for a dinner side dish, appetizer or meal prep. Only 4 ingredients needed for this simple recipe!
First, wash and scrub carrots. Dry completely. Slice them diagonally into ¼ inch slices.
Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Place sliced carrots into pan. Place lid on pan.
Allow carrots to cook for 5 minutes without touching the lid. Then, remove lid and stir carrots gently.
Cook for another 3 minutes. Then remove lid and stir again. Add sea salt to the carrots.
Finally, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Then remove lid. Once carrots are fork tender, remove from heat.
Lastly, serve with fresh herbs.
Completely wash and dry carrots.
Peeling the carrots is optional.
Slice carrots diagonally.
Resist the urge to remove the lid from the skillet. This helps trap the steam and cook the carrots.
Be sure to stir carrots every few minutes after the initial 5 minute cooking time. This prevents burning.
Carrots are done when a fork is easily inserted.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
