Equipment
- Crock Pot
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
- Measuring Spoons
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrots cut into matchsticks
- 1 onion diced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp powdered ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp powdered ranch seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling your carrots. Once clean, cut them into matchstick-sized pieces for even cooking. Dice the onion into small pieces to ensure it blends well with the carrots.
- In your crock pot, add the matchstick carrots and diced onion. This combination will create a flavorful base for your dish.
- Dot the top of the carrots and onion with 3 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the mixture, ensuring even coverage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a spoon, gently toss the carrots, onion, butter, and ranch seasoning until everything is well combined. This step is crucial for ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The carrots should be tender and infused with the ranch flavor.
- Once cooked, give the carrots a gentle stir before serving. Top with chopped green onions or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
Notes
- Prep the carrots and onion ahead of time and store in the fridge for easy cooking later.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based butter or olive oil.
- Add fresh herbs or warm spices seasonally for a unique twist.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
