Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots

 The other day, I got beautiful scallops. I needed a side dish which would compliment the "Butter Garlic Scallops" I was making. So I found the recipe here. To make it a meal, I got store bought cheese tortellini which were ready in minutes. It was a yummy dinner ready in 35 minutes

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots

Ingredients: 

1. 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-3 inch pieces, halved or quartered to make 1/2 inch sticks
2. 1/4 cup olive oil
3. 2 large cloves garlic, minced 
4. 2 tablespoons each of grated Parmesan cheese, Panko bread crumbs,
5.  1/2 teaspoon Salt
6. 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
7. 1 tablespoon dried Parsley

Preheat oven to 400°F . Then I reduced the heat to 375 degrees as I have a dark baking pan. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil spray.

Arrange carrots on baking sheet. Mix the olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Toss all ingredients together to completely coat the carrots. Spread out and bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Toss the carrots half way through.

Remove from oven and serve immediately.
