How to Make Baby Carrots

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of baby carrots.
  2. Place carrots in a medium saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until carrots are crisp-tender. Smaller carrots will cook faster; check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
  4. Drain the carrots well in a colander.
  5. Return the carrots to the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are heated through and coated in the butter.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
