Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots into the shape you desire if that is how you will be using them in the completed recipe. Whole, skin on carrots can be boiled too.

Step 2

Place the carrots into a medium sized saucepan and cover with water.  Add more water if 1 quart doesn't cover all of the pieces.

Step 3

Add 1 tbsp of salt to the water.  Heat on high for 5-7 minutes until the water is simmering.

Step 4

Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes, then check by piercing it with a fork for slices. If whole carrots, the simmering will take about 10 minutes.  If you plan to eat these as is, cook it until a fork goes easily through the entire piece (10 minutes or so).

Step 5

When cooked the way you want, pour into a colander to drain.

Step 6

Once drained, use for your dish or add topping that is listed in the notes.  Serve hot.
