If your carrots are all different thickness, I suggest cutting the carrots into uniform diagonal slices. Cooking time will be closer to 25-35 minutes if you cut the carrots, so just keep an eye on them. Orange carrots are perfect to use in this recipe. Rainbow carrots aren’t always available in all grocery stores but if you see some I recommend buying them. They add so much color to the dinner plate Add your favorite seasonings: basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, dill, thyme, and more. You can't go wrong!
