Lemon Basil Carrots

My son isn't a big fan of carrots, but he LOVES these. I use the sauce on other veggies too and it is something that gives just plain veggies a bit of punch to them. I even have halved or omitted the butter......but honestly butter does make it better. Hey, that sounds like a commercial doesn't it?

• 1 lb. carrots or green beans
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. garlic salt (or powder if you want to reduce sodium intake)
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil
• freshly cracked pepper to taste

1. Steam carrots until tender crisp.
2. Strain.
3. Melt butter, stir in other ingredients and toss with the carrots.

Be sure yo make lot, it goes over very well.
Enough for 4 servings, or 2 teenage boys.
