Step 1

Put the carrots and water into a medium-sized frying pan with a lid. Turn your stove to medium-high and bring the pan to a boil. Cover the lid and cook the carrots for 3 minutes, stirring once. Take the lid off and continue to cook the carrots until the water evaporates.

Step 2

Push the carrots to the side of the pan and add the butter.

Step 3

When the butter melts, add the garlic, salt, and pepper and stir the carrots. Continue to cook the carrots until they are soft but not mushy, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley.
