Basic Steamed Carrots

Steamed carrots are a staple recipe to have in your repertoire and can be served with just about any meal. Always serve basic vegetables like these steamed carrots with some type of fat. You can keep it simple and toss them in some olive oil or butter, or serve them with some roasted Wild Salmon and toasted walnuts. The fat from the other foods helps to make sure the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are fully absorbed into your body. 

Ingredients
4 large carrots peeled and chopped
