Instructions

- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet or pan. Add garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring very frequently. Do not burn the garlic.
- Toss the carrots with the garlic butter either in the skillet or pour the butter over the carrots in a mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.

Notes
- Cut those carrots the same size to get them cooked just right.
- Mix it Up and throw in a bit of rosemary or thyme for some extra zing.
- Watch the butter, and don’t let that garlic butter pull a fast one on you—it can go from golden to charred in a flash.
- Before serving, taste the carrots and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
