Ingredients

  • 3 lbs rainbow baby carrots
  • 2 Tbsp ghee
  • ¼ c maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Place a steamer basket in a large sauce pot. Add water to just below the bottom of the basket.
  • Bring water to boiling on high heat. Add half of the baby carrots, cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook carrots until tender, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • While carrots are steaming set up an ice bath (cold water and ice) in a large mixing bowl.
  • Immediately, place carrots in ice bath to stop carryover cooking.
  • Let water come to a boil again before dropping remaining carrots in steamer basket (check water level you may need to add more) and repeat process.
  • Strain from ice bath and let them come to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan on medium heat and add ghee. Once ghee has melted sauté carrots for 5 minutes.
  • Add maple syrup and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes. Toss in chopped parsley then transfer to serving dish.
    The sautéing process can be done in two rounds if necessary.
    Chef tip: carrots can be steamed the day before and placed in a resealable container and stored in the refrigerator.
