Wondering what to serve with dinner? Try one of our other delicious carrot side dishes like our buttered carrots, quick garlic roasted carrots, and spicy honey roasted carrots.
While we like plain vegetables, sometimes they need a little something more. So we upgraded this easy side dish by sautéing simple peas and carrots with onion and adding fresh dill.
They’re incredibly buttery, herby, and full of texture. Peas and carrots have never tasted so good!
To make them, simply sauté the sliced carrots and onions until they soften. Add in the frozen peas until they’re warmed through, then stir in the butter and top with minced dill. That’s it!
It’s the perfect quick and easy vegetarian side dish for weeknight meals, but don’t hesitate to serve them on special occasions or holiday meals.
Pair these buttery peas and carrots with roasted chicken, smothered pork chops, steak, seafood, and of course mashed potatoes.
Olive oil – for sautéing the carrots. Carrots – fresh regular carrots are what we use. Peel them or leave the skin on for added nutrients. Frozen carrots work well, too. Onion – onion adds lots of flavor and a bit of sweetness. Salt + pepper – for seasoning, and to enhance the flavors. Frozen peas – use frozen peas instead of canned. Frozen peas will hold their shape, whereas canned peas tend to be mushy. Butter – for a little richness and creaminess. Use olive oil instead to make them vegan. Dill – we love the fresh taste of dill, but feel free to use your favorite herbs like fresh parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, or even mint (or a mix of a few).
