Roasted Carrot Sticks

I was looking for a vegetable dish, and found this one for roasted carrots that turned out tasty!

 

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces baby carrots
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon powdered)
• 2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese (or Parmesan cheese)
• 1/2 tsp each paprika, chili powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper
• 4 tablespoons or more tablespoons additional Romano  (or Parmesan cheese)
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425℉ convection. Spray a half sheet pan with some cooking spray.
2. Slice the baby carrots in half lengthwise.
3. To a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoon Romano cheese, garlic, and spices.
4. Add the carrot slices and olive oil to a large bowl, stir to coat the carrot slices with oil.
5. Sprinkle and toss the cheese/spice mix over the carrots, tossing to coat all carrots.
6. Place 4 more tablespoons Romano cheese in a small bowl.
7. Dip the flat cut side of each carrot into the cheese. 
8. Space the carrots flat side down on the baking sheet.
9. Sprinkle with any leftover cheese from the small bowl.
10. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
    

 

Carole's Notes:

We both liked these carrots - they were savory and crisp, and did not taste like carrots at all!
