How to Make 7 Minute Steamed Carrots With Herbs

  1. Place 1 pound of baby carrots into a large microwave-safe ziploc bag.
  2. Microwave on high for 6 minutes.
  3. Carefully open the bag (steam will escape!). Add 1 tablespoon of butter spray, 1 teaspoon of your favorite herb seasoning mix (Italian, Herbes de Provence, etc.), and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or a blend).
  4. Close the bag securely and gently shake to coat the carrots evenly.
  5. Let stand for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt slightly before serving.
