Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large carrots, peeled into ribbons
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Peel the carrots into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
  2. Heat the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam gently, releasing its rich aroma.
  3. Sauté the Carrots: Add the carrot ribbons to the skillet and sauté them in the butter for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become tender but still retain a slight bite.
  4. Add Rosemary and Season: Stir in the chopped rosemary and sprinkle with salt. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish to enjoy warm as a flavorful side.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor; dried rosemary can be substituted but use sparingly to avoid overpowering the dish.
  • Carrot ribbons cook quickly, so monitor closely to avoid overcooking and sogginess.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • For added texture, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or chopped parsley before serving.
