For some reason I have had a lot of bad luck with steamed carrots. Until now, they had never seemed to turn out quite right when I cooked them. Thankfully, this recipe turned out great! Good enough to stick it on the blog 🙂
Carrots are a great vegetable to have on hand. They are inexpensive and they keep really well in the refrigerator for longer than most other veggies. You can eat them raw or cooked, in a smoothie or salad, as a snack or side dish. They are a versatile vegetable!
Steamed Carrots Side Dish
Ingredients (makes about 4-5 servings):
- 5 medium/large carrots, washed, peeled, and sliced
- 1 C. water
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp. butter (I used salted butter)
Instructions:
- Combine sliced carrots, the 1 cup of water, salt and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.Â
- Once boiling, lower heat to low or medium/low. Place a fitting lid on top and let simmer 10-15 minutes, or until carrots are at your desired tenderness.Â
- Drain the water out, and toss carrots with the 1 Tbsp. of butter.Â
We enjoyed these carrots with mashed potatoes, baked salmon and French green beans. 
As other side dish options, you might also enjoy  Broccoli Salad, Baked Yams, and Seasoned Mushrooms.
