i put a sirloin tip roast in the oven, also some potatoes and will have sauteed carrots for dinner....hmm, appetizers around...chex mix perhaps. How To Make Sautéed Carrots Once your carrots are prepared, its time to sauté them. And heres what you need to do to make sautéed carrots. Heat some oil in a pan over medium high heat. If you prefer to use butter, you can mix butter and oil, or use clarified butter. Plain butter on its own might burn over the high heat. Pick a pan large enough to hold all your carrots without crowding them. Theyll release steam as they cook, and if theyre too crowded the steam will prevent them from browning. Add the carrots to the pan. Cook the carrots, uncovered, being sure to keep them moving. They need to move more the longer they cook to keep them from burning. You can either stir them quickly with a wooden spoon, or jerk the pan back and forth to make the carrots jump. If you choose the latter, make sure your pan is light enough for you to handle easily. Its important to keep the carrots uncovered, so that the steam can escape and the carrots can brown. If the carrots look like theyre browning too fast and the inside isnt cooked yet, you can turn down the heat, or shake the pan a bit more – the movement will help cool down the vegetables and the pan. The carrots are done when theyre cooked through and browned to your liking. Taste a piece every so often to see if its done. When it tastes right to you, that means its good.
