Parmesan Cheese Garlic Carrots

 A few simple ingredients can turn these ordinary carrots into a flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

1 lb. baby carrots **
1 Tbs. olive oil, or melted butter
1/2 tsp. garlic salt **
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine olive oil and garlic salt.  Stir to combine. 

Add carrots. Mix until the carrots are coated in the olive oil and garlic salt mixture.

Arrange carrots on prepared baking sheet.

Roast the carrots for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender.   You many want to shake the pan or turn the carrots over, so they don't burn on one side.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake another 5 to 10 minutes.  

Drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the top and serve with additional Parmesan cheese.

Notes

You can use large carrots cut into pieces of 1.5 to 2-inches in length or cut into half-inch rounds. 

You can use 2 teaspoons minced garlic instead, or the garlic salt.
