Ingredients
- 1 pound carrot baby or whole carrots in 2 inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
Parsley Topping
- 2 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon parsley finely chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
Brown Sugar Carrots
- 2 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sub maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon thyme fresh
- salt to taste
Instructions
- If using whole carrots, peel and slice them into evenly sized pieces, approximately 2 inches in size.
- In the bowl of an Instant Pot, add the water and salt. Place the steam rack or a steamer basket in the Instant Pot, then place in the carrots. Cover and make sure the vent is set to sealing.
- Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 2 minutes. Once it is complete, quickly release the pressure.
- While the Instant Pot is coming to pressure and cooking, prepare the butter mixture of choice. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the parsley or brown sugar and thyme (depending on the recipe using). Toss the cooked carrots in the melted butter mixture and salt to taste.

Notes
- Storage: Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- Stovetop: Steam carrots in a steamer basket over a pot of 2 inches of boiling water. Make sure they are even in size, similar to the pressure cooker recipe, so they cook evenly. Steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender.
