This may be a fairly simple recipe, but to someone just starting to cook, it could mean the difference between an ok first dinner party where you might serve carrots heated up in water & an ALRIGHT dinner party that people really like eating. Any small thing you can do to a meal to enhance the flavor will be much more rewarding. Hope you enjoy.

WAIT TO ADD YOUR SEASONINGS TO CARROTS UNTIL THEY SOFTEN UP SOME, OR IT WILL JUST FALL OFF CARROTS & NOT ADHERE TO THEM.
