I love Carrots. And with the holidays upon us one can always use a good carrot dish. This one can be made three ways. You can choose the healthiest version and simply sauté carrots in butter with a little sea salt… or sweeten it up by adding a little light brown sugar… or make it extra fancy by adding sugar and the zest of an orange. All three ways are delicious!
Peel and slice carrots on the diagonal (about 1/8" thick)
Melt butter in pan on medium heat, add carrots
Cook, stirring occasionally until carrots are soft. This will take about 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add chives and cook one more minute.
If you want to make the sweeter version, follow directions above but before adding chives sprinkle with a little brown sugar, allow to melt and serve. If you want to really make it a tasty treat add the brown sugar and the fresh orange zest!
