Ingredients

16 oz. baby carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 and grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add carrots to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Add garlic powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until every carrot is coated. Spread in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, making sure carrots aren't touching (crowded carrots steam instead of roast).
Bake for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender. (do not overbake or they turn into tiny shriveled carrots). Smother with a bit of melted butter before serving if you like!
