In our house, I’m always trying to find new ways to incorporate veggies into our meals. I don’t think it’s possible to have a well balanced meal without produce of some sort! That being said, these buttery garlic peas and carrots are a super simple, quick, and easy side. They pair perfectly with so many main dishes. This recipe only take about 15 minutes to make and it’s absolutely delicious! Also, keep in mind, I grew up HAAAAATING peas, but this is one of my favorite veggie recipes now. Even my almost two-year-old loves them!
The Making of Garlic Peas and Carrots:
In the video below, you can see the steps I take to make this delicious side dish. It’s one that I like to make when I’m short on time because it’s so quick and doesn’t require much effort. It would also be extremely easy to make this vegan by using something like olive oil instead of butter.
As you can see here, there’s nothing overly special that you need to make this recipe. You just need a basic saute pan, a spatula, a good knife to cut up the onion and I also recommend a garlic press for using fresh garlic.
