Ingredients
0.5 lb multicolored carrots, washed and sliced into uniform coins
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
0.125 tsp sea salt
1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
1.5 tsp minced fresh garlic
0.5 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Combine olive oil and butter in the skillet and allow the butter to melt until shimmering.
Add the carrot coins to the skillet in a single layer to ensure uniform browning.
Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the carrots are tender and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Season with sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with finely grated parmesan and chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure you slice the carrots into uniform thickness so they cook at the same rate. If you prefer a nuttier flavor, you can toast the parmesan slightly in the pan for the last 30 seconds of cooking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
