Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 Carrots (large, peeled)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Spread 3/4 of the cheese on the baking sheet in an even layer. Arrange the carrots on the baking sheet over the cheese, flat-side down. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all over.
  4. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Top with parsley, divide evenly onto plates, and enjoy!

Notes

This is the perfect side dish to accompany any entrée.  It's a low-carb option that fits into a Ketogenic or any other reduced-carbohydrate meal plan.
Try spicing it up with a 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.   Also, add in fresh green beans for a change.   You might also want to use this recipe with sweet potatoes instead of carrots.  
Any way you prepare it, it is best consumed while fresh.  If there are leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
