Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots peeled and sliced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Peel the carrots and slice them into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil, then add the carrots to the basket. Cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how thick you sliced the carrots. Remove the carrots once they are tender.
