Sautéed Carrots Three Ways
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!
Ingredients
Simple Version:
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally, ¼ inch thick
- 1/4 cuo Butter
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- Sea Salt and Freshly ground pepper
Add Ons:
- 1/4-1/3 cup light brown sugar (for fancier option)
- Zest of one medium orange
Instructions
Simple version:

Peel and slice carrots on the diagonal (about 1/8" thick)

Add ons:

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!
