Serves: 4 Total Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots (I like using rainbow carrots – they look so pretty on the plate!), peeled and cut into 1 inch diagonal pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Parsley
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

1

Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water. Place a collapsible steamer basket in the pot and bring the water to simmer over medium-high heat.

2

Put the carrots in the basket, sprinkle with the thyme and oregano cover the pot and steam the carrots for about 5-8 minutes. The carrots are done when you can easily pierce them with a fork. If you want your carrots on the crunchy side, cook for 5 minutes. For more tender carrots, cook the closer to 8 minutes.

3

When they’re finished put the carrots on a plate, toss with lemon zest and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
