These Sweet Sauteed Carrots are definitely in my top ten favorite side dishes ever. We often come back to this recipe, and serve with plethora of different foods. Marcin loves these sauteed carrots with mashed potatoes and grilled pork chops. Arela loves them with pan fried buckwheat. Our kids will just eat these as an simple side dish.
It does not take much to make this delicious side dish. The first thing of course is to get a ton of carrots 🙂 I prefer organic ones.
The next step is to cut off the ends of the carrots, throw them in the pot and cook them for about 20-25 minutes. An important tip is not to over boil them! They will get too mushy for you to dice them in the next step.
All right after the carrots are done cooking, cool them in cold water for a few minutes so it will be easy to peel them.
How do you cut carrots for sauté?
After peeling comes dicing 🙂 It doesn’t take much time to do this, you just need to have a bit of patience if you want to have the best sweet sauteed carrots under the sun 🙂
If you made it through dicing, then you’re pretty much all set!. Load the carrots into a pot, add 1/2 glass of water, and season them with fresh rosemary, bay leaves, sage, allspice, brown sugar, white vinegar and butter. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes.
Serve while hot!
