Ingredients
  

For the Carrots
  • 4 medium Carrots Choose firm, colorful carrots for the best texture and taste.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds rich flavor; for a dairy-free version, substitute with ghee or dairy-free butter.
  • 2 sprigs Rosemary Fresh rosemary is preferred for its aromatic fragrance; dried can be used in a pinch.

Equipment

  • Vegetable Peeler
  • Steamer Basket
  • skillet
  • Pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling your fresh carrots using a vegetable peeler. Create long, flat ribbons by running the peeler along the length of each carrot until you reach the core. Aim for fettuccini-style ribbons that are about ¼ inch wide. Set the ribbons aside.
  2. Fill a pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Place a steamer basket over the pot and add the carrot ribbons. Cover with a lid and steam for approximately 3 minutes, or until the ribbons are vibrant and just tender.
  3. While the carrot ribbons are steaming, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate skillet over low heat. Add in finely chopped fresh rosemary and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. After steaming, carefully remove the carrot ribbons and drain any excess water. Transfer them into the skillet with the rosemary butter sauce. Toss gently to coat the ribbons evenly with the sauce.
  5. Once well combined, remove from heat and transfer the Carrot Ribbons to a serving plate. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness.
  6. Serve the carrot ribbons warm as a delightful side dish, perfectly complementing your favorite proteins or any main course.
