Small amounts of butter and salt enhance the flavor of this side dish. If you prefer to omit them, season with a salt-free spice blend.
To make this plant based, leave out butter.
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and shredded carrots. Cover and cook until water is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove carrots from the heat. Stir in the butter, sugar substitute, lemon juice and parsley. Serve immediately.
