PEGGI'S BUTTER FRIED CARROTS image

This may be a fairly simple recipe, but to someone just starting to cook, it could mean the difference between an ok first dinner party where you might serve carrots heated up in water & an ALRIGHT dinner party that people really like eating. Any small thing you can do to a meal to enhance the flavor will be much more...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pt or can sliced carrots canned in water or the equivalent of fresh ones, sliced 1/2"- 3/4" thick
2 Tbsp real butter, don't substitute
1/8 tsp sugar
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. DRAIN CARROTS WELL, IF USING CANNED CARROTS. IF USING FRESH, SLICE.
  • 2. MELT THE BUTTER IN SMALL CAST IRON SKILLET, IF YOU HAVE ONE.
  • 3. IF USING CANNED CARROTS: PLACE CARROTS IN SKILLET ON MEDIUM HEAT & ADD A SMIDGEN OF SUGAR, ABOUT 1/8 tsp. DON'T MEASURE, JUST GUESS. SALT & PEPPER.
  • 4. CONTINUE COOKING & STIRRING UNTIL BUTTER IS ALMOST GONE. THEY WILL START BROWNING. THIS IS GOOD. IF THEY AREN'T BROWN, COOK A LITTLE LONGER. DON'T OVER STIR AS THEY WILL MUSH.
  • 5. IF USING FRESH CARROTS, DO STEPS 1, 2, 3 ABOVE, EXCEPT PLACE LID ON SKILLET TO STEAM THE CARROTS FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES. COOKING TIME WILL TAKE LONGER FOR FRESH. CONTINUE WITH STEP 4. WAIT TO ADD YOUR SEASONINGS TO CARROTS UNTIL THEY SOFTEN UP SOME, OR IT WILL JUST FALL OFF CARROTS & NOT ADHERE TO THEM.

I followed the recipe exactly but my carrots didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll cook them for a bit longer next time.

These carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed these. The butter and brown sugar gave them a sweet and savory flavor that I loved.

These carrots are a great way to use up leftover carrots. I usually have a few carrots left over after I make carrot cake and this is a great way to use them up.

These carrots are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use frozen carrots if I don't have fresh ones on hand.

These carrots were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a lovely buttery flavor. I served them as a side dish with roasted chicken and they were a hit wit
