Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots, cut into ½-inch strips

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the Carrots:
    Slice each whole carrot in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces, then cut each half into three evenly sized sections.
  • Steam the Carrots
    Steam or boil the carrot strips until they are fork-tender. Using a rice cooker with a steam basket is an efficient method. Peeling the carrots is optional based on personal preference.
  • Season:
    While the carrots are still hot, add the butter and stir until it melts completely. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure even coating.

  • Serve:
    Transfer the seasoned carrots to a serving dish and enjoy!
