Ingredients
- 3–4 large carrots
- 1 Tbsp ghee or butter
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary (or 1/4 tsp dried)
- 1/2 tsp fresh parsley (or 1/4 tsp dried)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Wash the carrots thoroughly and lay them flat on a cutting board.
- Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons by peeling along the length of each carrot until they become too thin to continue.
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan and place the carrot ribbons in a steamer basket. Cover and steam for about 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- In a small bowl, mix ghee or butter with minced rosemary, parsley, and salt. Toss the steamed carrot ribbons gently in this sauce to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately for best flavor.
