- 1 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional herbs: fresh parsley, fresh chives

- Pressure cook for 2 minutes, then quick release. Carefully pour the carrots through a strainer to drain any water, then return the carrots to the instant pot.
- Add butter, salt and pepper and gently toss to combine (the pot should still be warm so the butter should melt fairly quickly).
