Parmesan Garlic Roasted Carrot Spirals
I never cared for carrots as a child, but they have really grown on me as an adult. I love roasted sausage and veggies and carrots are always in the pan.
It is nice to experiment with different recipes for veggies so we don't get sick of eating them. I need all the help I can get to eat more veggies!
How to Make Parmesan Garlic Roasted Carrot Spirals
First preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spiralize the carrots. I like to use my Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer
Toss the carrots spirals into a medium size bowl
Place the carrots on a baking stone or cookie sheet. I like to use a stoneware bar pan
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are tender and crisp. This can really vary from person to person. We like our roasted veggies REALLY well done! 🙂
Remove from the oven and garnish with Parmesan.
Great for Holidays
I think these roasted carrot spirals are perfect for holiday meals. They just look so pretty on a platter. It is the perfect healthy side dish to help you stay on track if you are trying to lose weight.
Perfect for Weight Watchers
If you are following the Weight Watchers program this is a great side dish option. The whole recipe has 3 Freestyle SmartPoints. If you divide it into 4 servings it will be 1 Freestyle SmartPoint per serving.
It is hard to say exactly how much each serving size will be due to the carrots being different sizes. The only thing that has points is the Parmesan cheese. So it really doesn't matter that much…just realize there are 3 points total if you eat the whole plate of carrots, LOL.
