- 3–4 large straight carrots (about 2 cups of ribbons)
- 1 Tbsp ghee or butter
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced

Instructions
- Wash the carrots thoroughly. Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons by peeling along the length of each carrot. Continue until you have about 2 heaping cups of ribbons.
- Fill a saucepan with an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place the carrot ribbons in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
