Step 1

Start a saucepan of water to boil.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch slices on the bias (diagonally).

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, add the carrots and boil for 4 to 5 minutes until just crisp tender (longer if you prefer them to be more tender). Drain.

Step 4

Toss the carrots with the chives, butter and salt. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
