Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 120 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them with the garlic and olive oil.

Step 6

Pour in the water and add the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and allow the carrots to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly firm.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the water to evaporate and the carrots to get lightly caramelized.

Step 9

Stir in the unsalted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Toss to combine and coat the carrots evenly.
