Notes

The smaller the carrots are cut,the faster they will cook. So cut them how you want to serve them and changetime accordingly.
For very tender carrots, cook an additional 3-5 minutes. As-is, they will have just a touch of crunch left to them.
For this recipe, we peel the carrots. If you prefer, leave the skin on the carrots.
The seasoning absorbs better into peeled carrots.
Be sure to wash and pat the carrots dry using a paper towel or cotton towel.
You can add any seasoning blend to this recipe. This recipe is a good base, but you can add more seasonings to better match the main course you’re serving.
Baby carrots can be used for this recipe. Be mindful of the size and thickness of carrots. This will adjust your timing as far as cooking goes.
