Brown Butter Carrots
Brown Butter Carrots feature tender baby carrots boiled until soft, then coated with a garlic and Italian seasoning-infused brown butter sauce. The butter is cooked until golden and nutty, which enriches the carrots with deep flavor and a subtle herbaceous note. Chopped parsley adds a fresh finishing touch.
