These buttered baby carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that goes well with any meal. The dill adds a fresh and herby flavor to the sweet carrots. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a holiday feast.
In a medium sized saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the baby carrots and cook for 8-10 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the cooked carrots back to the pan and stir to coat them in the butter.
Add the chopped dill and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fully coated in the butter and dill mixture.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze a wedge of lemon over the carrots before serving.To make this recipe vegan, replace the butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and omit the dill.
