SAUTéED CARROTS - 5 SIMPLE STEPS

Steps:

• Wash the carrots under cold water or using a vegatable spray.
• Peel the carrots and cut off the tops and ends.
• Cut up your carrots by slicing them into 3in x 1/4in matchsticks. Start by cutting the carrot in half the long way and then cut those halves in half the long way again.
• Now, cut them in half across in the other direction and then go ahead and slice those pieces so that they are 1/4" thick.
• Heat up your pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot go ahead and heat up your olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot add in your carrots; stir them around and sauté them.Make sure that all of the carrots are touching bottom of the pan so that they can cook evenly.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over all of the carrots; mix them around and continue to cook.
• Once the carrots are tender and starting to brown a little, add in the balsamic vinegar and deglaze the pan. Stir everything around coating the carrots in the balsamic and getting the brown bits unstuck from the pan.
