Quick Carrots With Garlic & Basil

A quick different way with carrots. You can use other herbs if you like in place of the basil. I have used both fresh garlic and crushed from a jar with little difference.

1. Cook carrots in boiling water for for 2 -3 mins until tender but crisp or microwave if desired.
