Notes
- Completely wash and dry carrots.
- Peeling the carrots is optional.
- Slice carrots diagonally.
- Resist the urge to remove the lid from the skillet. This helps trap the steam and cook the carrots.
- Be sure to stir carrots every few minutes after the initial 5 minute cooking time. This prevents burning.
- Carrots are done when a fork is easily inserted.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
