Microwave Carrots: The Easiest Way to Cook Carrots
This might not seem like the most glamorous way to cook your carrots, but friend, if you’re short on time, it is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get some veggies on your plate. And bonus: cooking carrots this way is actually really delicious. The bright and sweet combo of the steamed carrots with a tab of butter and sprinkle of salt and fresh ground pepper is total comfort food, and absolutely worth the (extremely minimal) prep.
How to Steam Carrots in the Microwave
To make carrots in the microwave, you’ll just need carrots, water, butter, and salt and pepper.
Wait, I like my carrots sweet!
If you’re a fan of sweet carrots, not a problem. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup alongside the melted butter or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to taste.
Let carrots sit for one minute before removing the plate, being very careful as steam trapped inside the bowl will be hot. You might want to use a towel or oven mitt to remove it. Check your carrots for doneness. If they’re still a little too crisp for your liking, re-cover and put them in for another minute, again, being very careful when you remove the lid.
