You have definitely been cooking carrots wrong: an easy way to turn them into real delicacy

We're all used to the fact that carrots get a rather "sad" appearance after heat treatment. But, as it turned out, this happens because of the wrong cooking methods.

The Mirror figured out how to fry carrots so that they don't lose their benefits and look beautiful thanks to expert Rosemary Gill from Milk Street Kitchen.

What kind of fat to use

According to Gill, most people get the carrot cooking process wrong from the very first step. When frying carrots, she advises using two types of fat at once, namely butter and olive oil, mixed in equal proportions. After cooking in two fats, the carrots will become sweeter and get an incredible nutty flavor.

How to cut carrots correctly

It is best to cut the carrots lengthways. This way, they will hold their shape better and have more surface area for caramelization in the two types of oil mentioned above.

What to add to carrots for better flavor

If you want carrots cooked in your kitchen to look and taste like they were made in a restaurant, add a few slices of orange while frying them. The citrus will help bring out all the flavors of the carrots.

When to add spices

Add spices to carrots only when they are halfway through cooking. That's when the spices will not only be able to fully reveal their flavor but also perfectly complement the taste of caramelized carrots in two types of fats.
