Low Carb Garlic Paremsan Carrots
This is another easy weeknight recipe. This is perfect when you are using your oven for something else. I like to serve these when I have either a casserole on the menu or an oven baked meat. I am not much of a carrot fan but these are really good and so easy. If you do the math on the olive oil and parmesan cheese, this could be used in a trim healthy mama e or fp meal.
If you are worried about the carbs in carrots, I ran the numbers. A medium whole carrot has 6 grams of carbs and 1.7 grams of fiber, so 4.3 net carbs. This will fit easily into a meal that is low in carbs. Perfect with baked chicken thighs and a green leafy salad.
