Does anyone else always have carrots at Easter dinner? It seems every year we do. It must have something to do with correlation to the Easter Bunny... because bunnies eat carrots. Hello... is this thing on? Or maybe just because they taste good & there is no weird subconscious tie to the Easter Bunny.
Anywho... this is one of my favorite ways to make cooked carrots:
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
6 large carrots
dill
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash & peel carrots.
Cut carrots in half, then cut cut length wise to to 3 or 4 sections, or about 1/4 inch thick as pictured. Fill a large saucepan with about 1/2 inch of water. Heat until boiling & add carrots. Cover and cook about 3 minutes, just until they are barely tender. Meanwhile put butter on a large baking sheet & set in the oven until butter is completely melted. Remove from oven. Drain blanched carrots & place the carrots to the baking sheet. Gently turn carrots to coat in melted butter. Place in the oven for about 10-15, or until carrots start to turn light brown. Remove from oven & sprinkle dill on the top. Serve immediately.
Happy Easter dinner preparing!
