Sauteed Carrots Recipe ( Butter & Herbs)

Sauteed carrots are my Teens favourite since I started giving them in this way. Usually they never use to like the raw ones.

Sometimes the simplest vegetables make the most comforting side dishes. These sauteed carrots are lightly cooked in butter or olive oil, flavored with garlic, herbs, and a hint of spice. Perfect as a quick weekday side or a healthy add-on to any meal, this recipe keeps the natural sweetness of carrots intact while adding delicious aroma and taste.

½ tsp mixed herbs or dried herbs of choice

2 cups carrot juveniles (baby carrots or young carrots), sliced or whole

1 tbsp butter or olive oil

1 tsp chopped garlic

½ tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)

¼ tsp black pepper powder
