Ingredients

  • 3 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • parsley to garnish

Instructions

  1. Place baby carrots in a pot that has a lid.

  2. Cover carrots with water and add two chicken bouillon cubes. Cover and bring to a boil.

  3. Continue boiling for 10 to 15 minutes and checking for desired tenderness. Cook longer if you like them more tender or if you are cooking for little children that need them very soft.

  4. When carrots are desired tenderness, drain the water and add butter, salt and pepper to carrots in the pot.

  5. Stir to blend flavors and melt butter.

  6. Place in a bowl and garnish with dried parsley (or fresh if desired)

  7. Enjoy this simple side dish!

  8. NOTE: Just add butter, if desired. Kids may like these best just buttered.
