Sautéed Carrots with Sage
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep me creative in my tiny kitchen!
This was the second side dish that I brought to Easter dinner with my in-laws. It was super simple, and went beautifully with the turkey and stuffing.
These carrots are cooked in a blend of butter and oil and then cooked until just tender. A bit of fresh sage at the end livens this dish up and adds a splash of soft green color.
You could substitute dairy-free butter to make this a vegan side dish, fitting for any springtime dinner table!
