Instructions for Buttered Carrots:

Place carrots in a pan that has a lid.

Cover carrots with water and add bouillon cubes.

Cover with the lid for the pan and bring to a boil. When water boils, continue cooking for 12-15 minutes. Cook until carrots are desired tenderness. Desired tenderness differs for different people. We like ours at about 13 minutes. Just watch and poke them with a fork until they are the way you like them.

When carrots are desired tenderness, drain the water and add the butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and melt the butter. Enjoy this simple and yummy side dish recipe.

NOTE: You do not have to add the butter, parsley, salt and pepper. They are delicious plain, too. Eating them plain cuts the calories. The kids like them with just butter.
