Notes
Use any kind of carrots you like! Whole baby carrots work great, or larger chunks of big carrots. If you use larger carrots than bite-sized, you may have to boil them for a few minutes longer to cook them all the way through.
I use salted butter for this dish. If you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt when you swirl the butter into the carrots.
This makes 4 small servings as these sweet carrots are commonly found as a second side dish with hibachi vegetables. Feel free to double or triple the recipe if this is your primary side dish! Or, like, if you just love carrots.
