Ingredients 4
- 8 medium carrots ( 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or other fresh herbs — we used a combination of thyme and chives)
Method 3
- 01
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into rounds (on the bias).
- 02
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots and cover. Cook for 4 minutes without stirring.
- 03
Remove the lid, stir, and add the ¼ teaspoon kosher salt . Continue to saute uncovered 3 to 4 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs and a few more pinches kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately. Leftovers store up to 4 days refrigerated; reheat gently on the stovetop.
