SAUTEED CARROTS
Steps:
- Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally in 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 6 cups of carrots. Place the carrots, 1/3 cup water, the salt, and pepper in a large (10- to 12-inch) saute pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are just cooked through. Add the butter and saute for another minute, until the water evaporates and the carrots are coated with butter. Off the heat, toss with the dill or parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
ROASTED CARROTS WITH GARLIC PARSLEY BUTTER
Here we toss perfectly roasted carrots with butter that's been infused with garlic and parsley. Instead of the parsley, consider adding basil, crushed red pepper flakes, dill, cumin, or other favorite flavors. The recipe below is more of a template than a strict recipe. Carrots are perfectly delicious roasted, but so are parsnips, squash, potatoes or other hardy vegetable you find in season. Feel free to switch them out for something else.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut carrots into 2 to 3-inch sticks. (Depending on how wide the thicker ends are, you may need to slice each stick in half, lengthwise). Toss carrots onto the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt. Make sure the carrots are coated then spread out into one layer. Roast carrots, stirring twice, until they are tender with edges that are lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While the carrots roast, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Use the back of a large knife to gently crush the garlic clove. Remove the skin then add clove to the butter along with the parsley. Wait until the butter bubbles gently then cook for 1 minute. Slide the pan away from the heat and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic.
- Slide the roasted carrots into a bowl with the garlic parsley butter. Toss then season to taste with additional salt as needed.

GLAZED PARSLEY CARROTS
This is a French classic, carrots Vichy, or glazed carrots. The idea is simply to cook the carrots with some sugar, water, lemon juice and butter until they are tender and glazed with the melted sugar. Care must be taken to avoid overcooking and burning the sugar mixture.

ROASTED CARROTS
This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Steps:
- Cut the carrots into 3-by-1/2-by-1/8-inch pieces. Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Blanch carrots until they start to soften but are still firm, about 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a colander; rinse under cold water; set aside.
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the blanched carrots, and toss in the butter to coat. Cook carrots until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, young carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or cracks.
- Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots, then trim the ends.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or matchsticks.
- Blanch the carrots: This will help them retain their color and nutrients. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the carrots and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the parsley butter: Combine softened butter, chopped parsley, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. You can also add other herbs, such as thyme or chives, if desired.
- Sauté the carrots: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Add the parsley butter: Stir in the parsley butter until it is melted and evenly distributed.
- Season to taste: Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Serve immediately: Carrots with parsley butter are best served hot.
