Answer 1

Carrots are great and are complemented by most spices. Depends on what you're serving. Dill, parsley, oregano, marjoram and plain old salt & pepper work well with butter or lemon. You can be bolder and try cardamon, caraway, even cinnimon. I also like chinese five spice powder with carrots.

So, what else are you having?

Answer 2

Butter, salt and pepper.

Or, you could do a glaze -

1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steam your carrots as you desire. While carrots are cooking, heat the brown sugar, margarine, orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will taste scorched. Remove the skillet from the heat.

When carrots are done, stir them into the brown sugar mixture. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently, until carrots are glazed and hot.

Answer 3

I'm not a fan of carrots, but my daughter in law cooks honeyed carrots for her family. Just boil or steam them in the usual way, drain & put a small amount of honey into the hot saucepan with them, stirr around gently till they are coated in the honey.

Tarragon is great on carrots and parsnips as well.

There. You have been instructed by a former chef professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience. There is no need to thank me. I am happy to help you rise up from the cesspool of food superstition people who are not former chefs professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience live in!!
