Start by parboiling your carrots. What is parboiling? Parboiling simply means to partially cook. Pretty easy start. Parboiling the carrots before sauteing reduces cooking time and limits the chance of overcooking and serving dried-out carrots. Nobody wants that!
Try your best to make sure your carrots are cut similarly in size. An important thing to remember about parboiling is to make sure you have a rolling boil and an ice bath ready to go.
This easy dish can be partially prepared a day or two before so you can make a fresh savory meal in a hurry. Try pairing this with wild rice or quinoa and there you have a one-dish meal!
Sauteed carrots and green onions are also a perfect easy addition to any holiday meal. Try pairing it with fluffy mashed potatoes, millet muffins, shallot gravy, and more.
