How to Make Carrots With Cumin

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds.
  5. Stir constantly until the cumin seeds begin to sizzle and pop, about 1 minute.
  6. Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan. Stir gently until the carrots are thoroughly coated with the butter and spice mixture and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
