Ingredients

• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 1/2-1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 large celery root, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes

Directions

In a large saute pan, combine the carrots, 1/2 cup of the water, and butter. Sprinkle the sugar over the top and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium.
