Steps
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks, ensuring they are of similar size to ensure even cooking.
In a large pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the carrot sticks and mix well so that they are evenly coated with oil.
Allow the carrots to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender.
At this point, pour half a cup of water into the pan.
Cover with a lid and let cook on medium-low heat until the carrots become tender, stirring occasionally.
The water will help cook the carrots evenly and make them softer.
Add the salt and dried parsley and mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Continue to cook until the carrots are soft and have absorbed the flavors well.
Once the carrots are ready, turn off the heat and serve them in the pan as a delicious and colorful side dish.
