For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the butter while it melts. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Adjust cooking times based on the size and tenderness of your carrots. You want them to be tender but still have a slight bite.
