Simple Steamed Carrots with Maple and Dill
These carrots are my absolute favorite late night snack, but they make an amazing side dish too! Slightly sweet, salty, and perfectly crisp, they're the perfect snack!
Ingredients
- 6 carrots
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add 1 to 2 inches of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Peel the carrots and slice them into ¼-inch slices on the bias to make wide flat carrot ovals. Place the carrots into the steamer basket.
- Once the water has come to a boil, place the steamer basket into the pot. Cover it with a lid and steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Check with a fork at about 8 minutes. The carrots should be tender but still have a snap to them.
- Once the carrots are perfect, carefully remove them from the steamer basket and place them in a serving bowl. Drizzle with maple syrup, salt, dill, and black pepper. Eat immediately!
