Delight in the delicate flavors of Carrot Ribbons in Rosemary Butter Sauce, a simple yet elegant side dish featuring tender, steamed carrot ribbons tossed in aromatic rosemary-infused ghee or butter. This quick and healthy recipe highlights fresh herbs and offers a perfect balance of texture and flavor for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3–4 large, straight carrots (to make about 2 cups of carrot ribbons)

Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp ghee or butter
  • 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (or 1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh parsley, minced (or 1/4 tsp dried parsley flakes)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrot Ribbons: Thoroughly wash the carrots. Using a vegetable peeler, peel along the length of each carrot to create thin ribbons, rotating the carrot as needed until it becomes too thin to peel. Continue until you have about 2 heaping cups of carrot ribbons.
  2. Steam the Carrots: Fill a saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place the carrot ribbons in a steamer basket or metal colander and set it inside the saucepan. Cover and steam the ribbons for 3 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Avoid over-steaming to prevent mushy carrots.
  3. Make the Rosemary Butter Sauce and Toss: While the carrots steam, combine ghee or butter, minced rosemary, parsley, and salt in a small bowl. Once the carrots are steamed, add them to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh rosemary and parsley if available for a more vibrant flavor.
  • If you have leftover carrot ribbons, they make a great addition to salads or wraps.
  • Steaming time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the ribbons; check frequently to avoid overcooking.
  • Ghee provides a nuttier flavor and is a great alternative for those avoiding dairy solids in butter.
  • This dish pairs well as a side with roasted meats or grilled fish.
