8. Gently stir the carrots to ensure even cooking. Be cautious as the dish will be hot.
9. Place the dish back into the microwave and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power and the size of the carrot pieces.
10. Once the carrots are tender, carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let it sit for a minute or two before uncovering.
11. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or use them in salads, stir-fries, or any other recipes that call for cooked carrots.
That’s it! In just a few minutes, you can enjoy tender and flavorful carrots without any hassle. Microwave cooking is a convenient method that retains the nutrients and natural sweetness of the carrots. Give this recipe a try and elevate your carrot culinary skills!
