SAUTéED CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large saute pan or deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid, place the carrots, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots just reach fork tender (don't let them turn mushy).
• Uncover, add the butter and honey, and stir and cook until the water evaporates (and the coconut oil melts, if using). Remove the pan from the heat.
• Stir in the herbs. Add a finishing sprinkle of salt or pepper to taste. Enjoy hot.
