Garlic Roasted Carrots
2 lbs carrots, peeled
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spread or line with foil and set aside
Prepare the carrots by slicing into 3” pieces or slicing into carrot sticks on a mandolin. Place in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in the microwave in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the prepared carrots and toss to coat. If using Parmesan cheese, add to the bowl and toss until well combined.
Transfer the carrots to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
Bake the carrots for up to 20 - 25 minutes or until tender, mixing them halfway through. Roasting time will vary depending on the size of the prepared carrots.
Remove the carrots from the oven, taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Sprinkle the roasted carrots with parsley and serve.
