Try a French-style way of cooking carrots which tastes impressive, but is incredibly low-effort. Swap the sage for parsley, if you fancy a fresh twist

Method

step 1

Melt half the butter in a pan over a medium heat and fry a few sage leaves until crisp. Remove from the pan. Finely chop the rest of the sage.
step 2

Tip the carrots and 100ml water into the pan and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 mins until the carrots are tender, adding another splash of water during cooking, if needed.
step 3

Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining butter, the chopped sage and plenty of seasoning. Spoon the carrots into a serving dish and scatter over the crispy sage leaves.
