Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large carrots
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add 1.5 inches of water to a saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • Peel the carrots, cut off the ends, cut them in half crosswise and then cut the fat halves in half lengthwise, as shown in the video below. Your goal is to achieve fairly equal-sized chunks of carrot. Place the prepared carrots in the steamer basket.
  • When the water boils, carefully place the steamer basket in the saucepan, cover, and steam the carrots until just tender - check with a fork, and start checking after 10 minutes. Also, keep an eye on the water to make sure they don't completely evaporate.
  • Remove the carrots from the steamer onto a serving plate. Drizzle them with melted butter and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 medium carrots (1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
1/4 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (we used thyme and parsley)
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch slices on the bias (diagonally).
  • Place about 1 inch of water in a pot or saucepan. If using a steamer basket without a handle, add it to the pot now: the water surface should be right under the basket. Bring the water to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add the carrots (in the steamer basket, if it has a handle). Steam with the lid on until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Taste test with a fork to assess doneness.
  • Carefully remove the vegetables to a bowl. Toss with the olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh herbs. Spritz with the juice from 2 lemon wedges (if using).

4 large carrots, peeled, thinly sliced diagonally
