I enjoy carrots but to my boys, carrots are a bit boring and they usually can take them or leave them. This is a way that I cook carrots to make my boys get a bit more excited about this all-purpose veggie. I think you and your family will love these because they really do taste amazing.
- 2 lbs. carrots, peeled and sliced lengthwise
- ½ c. Parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ T. olive oil
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. parsley flakes
- ½ tsp. thyme
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together all of the ingredients. Be sure the carrots are coated well and then lay them out in a single layer onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 17-19 minutes or until the carrots are tender. I generally turn the carrots over half way through cooking to be sure they cook evenly.
Serves 6 with each serving having about 15 carbs.
We love using carrots in our Old Fashioned Beef Stew or served with a Roast and potatoes.
