How Long to Boil Carrots
A quick and easy tutorial on How to Boil Carrots to use in your next side dish recipe! Perfect for busy weeknight dinners!
Ingredients
- 8 large carrots peeled and sliced
- water
Instructions
- Boil Water: Fill a large saucepan ¾ of the way with water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
- Cook Carrots: Add carrots and let simmer 8-10 minutes or until fork tender.
- Serve: Drain carrots and serve as-is, with some butter and salt, or make some old fashioned candied carrots!
Notes
- Cook Time: Depends on the thickness of the carrots. Feel free to start testing after the 6 or 7 minute mark if you want your carrots more on the firm side. 8-9 minutes should be more soft, but firm and then 10 minutes or more will be quite soft.
- Storage: store leftover boiled carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
