Stop boiling carrots as 1 quick method makes them taste amazing - 'very simple'

Boiling carrots is thought of as a quick and easy way to cook this autumnal vegetable. However, multiple chefs have revealed that boiling carrots is not the best way to cook them. When you boil your carrots, you can lose a lot of the flavour and nutrients to the water. However, there are many other ways to cook this root vegetable. Some people opt for steaming their carrots, and others say that roasting them in honey is the best way to cook them.

But there is one method you might not have considered before, and experts have described it as simple yet effective. Carrots are one of the healthiest foods that are a regular part of a British diet. They are a rich source of vitamin A, Vitamin C and fibre, and are known to be beneficial for gut health and even eye health. Carrots are a staple part of a Sunday roast and other British dinners throughout the week, so you should learn how to cook them to maximise flavour.

One expert has suggested that you sautee your carrots on a skillet for the simplest yet delicious results. Nagi Maehashi from Recipe Tin Eats said that stove-top carrots can be made to look and taste like they have been roasted, but with a much quicker method.

"Making glazed carrots on the stove is something I started doing several years ago for lavish special event dinners like Christmas when the (one and only) oven is otherwise occupied with more important things," she revealed.

The ingredients she lists for her stove-top carrots are:

• 6 carrots
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2/3 cup water
• Salt and pepper
• Parsley

To make her glazed stove-top carrots, here is what she does. Firstly, she heats the oil in a large skillet over a medium to high heat. Then, she adds her cut carrots to the skillet and shakes, allowing them to cook for around 5 to 7 minutes.

She then adds the remaining ingredients, except for the parsley. After stirring, she allows them to cook until the water has evaporated.

The carrots should start to caramelise. This should take around 3 minutes. Stir a couple of times until they achieve this stage. Finally, simply sprinkle them with parsley and serve them warm along with your other Sunday roast favourites.
