Easy Thanksgiving Side Dish ~ Buttery Carrots
To prepare, simply julienne 5 large carrots. Melt 3-4 TBS butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and saute for 15-20 minutes. I prefer a slightly crunchy carrot, so I tend to under cook mine. {I have been accused of being a little weird, though.} You cook them as long as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper and serve!

I make these for my little brother, but with sweet seasonings (nutmeg, cinnamon, and a touch of honey), instead of savory. He loves them!
