How to Make Sweet Carrots
- Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced carrots and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp but still retain a slight bite. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the carrots are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any remaining liquid. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of margarine (or butter) and 1 tablespoon of sugar substitute. Adjust the amount of sugar substitute to your preference.
- Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine.
- Serve the sweet carrots immediately as a delicious side dish.
