How to serve ranch carrots:
How to make Ranch carrots on stove top:
This recipe is easy to make on the stove top if you prefer.
First, melt the butter on a stove top using medium heat. Then, add the carrots and ranch seasoning.
Sauté and cover. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until carrots are cooked through. The time can vary based on how tender you prefer the carrots to be.
How to store leftovers:
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. I like to go ahead and put them inside individual containers with leftovers from our meal.
This makes it easy to grab for a quick lunch on the way out the door to work. We are less tempted to go out for lunch if I do this easy step.
Tips for Hidden Valley Ranch carrots:
- You can substitute avocado oil for olive oil.
- If you would like the edges to be crispy, increase the oven temperature to 425 for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
- Feel free to substitute whole carrots or sliced carrots in this recipe.
- Make sure to use firm carrots and not limp carrots. The fresher the better when making this recipe.
- Rainbow carrots taste great and look pretty in this recipe.
- Baby Carrots often have water in the bag and sometimes this leaves a residue. Make sure to remove any excess moisture and rinse the carrots before baking.
- We used Hidden Valley ranch seasoning mix but feel free to use store brand or anything you prefer.
Air Fryer option:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Coat the carrots in the oil and ranch.
- Place in the air fryer basket for 12 minutes.
- Make sure to shake the basket at the halfway point.
- Serve and enjoy.
