Step 1

Rinse, peel, and slice whole carrots into 1/4-inch rounds. Or rinse and pat dry baby carrots.

Step 2

Arrange the carrots in a single layer on a microwave-safe dish with a lip around the edge. It's okay if they overlap a little. But they need space to cook evenly.

Step 3

If using brown sugar, sprinkle it over the carrots at this point.

Step 4

Carefully pour the water into the dish and cover it with a microwave-safe lid (or plate). If using plastic wrap, secure it around the edges, but leave a small vent for steam to escape.

Step 5

Microwave on high for 4 minutes, then carefully remove the dish. Flip carrot slices with kitchen tongs or a fork, or gently stir the baby carrots.

Step 6

Microwave for another 2-4 minutes or until tender.

Step 7

Remove the dish and discard the water.

Step 8

Transfer the carrots to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil (or butter) and the salt and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 9

Let the carrots sit for a minute, then serve and enjoy!
