Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots are best for this recipe, as they are tender and flavorful. If you can't find baby carrots, you can use regular carrots, but be sure to peel and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked carrots will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill is essential for this recipe. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but be sure to use less, as it is more concentrated.
  • Serve immediately: Baby carrots with dill butter are best served immediately after they are cooked. The butter will start to solidify as it cools, so don't let the carrots sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Baby carrots with dill butter is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the dill butter is a delicious complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
