How Do You Soften Carrots Quickly?
To soften carrots quickly, you can cut them into smaller pieces or slices to reduce cooking time. Boil or steam the carrots until they’re tender, usually taking around 5-10 minutes depending on the size of your cuts. Additionally, adding a pinch of salt to the water or using vegetable or chicken broth instead of water can help enhance the flavor of the carrots. To further soften the carrots, drain the water and then toss them in butter or olive oil.
