Carrots – some regular ol’ carrots, nothing fancy. Just steer clear of the uniform-sized bagged baby carrots that tend to be tasteless. Water – for steaming the carrots. Butter – the rich taste of butter is the star of the show! Garlic – garlic adds a punch of flavor. Sea salt + black pepper – for seasoning, to taste. Fresh parsley – we use fresh flat-leaf parsley but any type of parsley works. Other fresh herbs like thyme and chives taste great, too.
