If you’re following a low carb or Keto diet, this easy carrot recipes is the perfect side dish.
Our schedule is very busy – especially during the spring season. Between baseball, BMX, flag football and Boy Scouts, we always have somewhere to be after dinner.
Dinner needs to be quick and preferably healthy. I try to keep plenty of quick cooking meats on hand – such as thin cut chicken breasts and pork chops, as well as frozen shrimp. This way I know I have proteins on hand that cook quickly.
For sides, I love vegetable spiralizer recipes but I don’t always have time to make fresh spiralized veggies. It can be cumbersome to drag out the spiralizer and prep the veggies.
Green Giant® came out with new Veggie Spirals that are the perfect swap-in for traditional pasta. You can get zucchini or carrot spirals that make great side dishes or can easily be swapped in place of pasta in your favorite recipes.
Green Giant® Veggie Spirals are gluten free and come without sauce or seasoning so you can prepare them to suit your tastes and recipes.
I love that they are made with 100% vegetables. There aren’t any fillers or ingredients you can’t pronounce. Plus, Green Giant® Veggie Spirals have fewer calories than pasta, and no carbs. They are great as an entrée, a side dish, or soup.

These Garlic Parmesan Carrot Spirals were an easy carrot recipes. The recipe came together quickly and it was very flavorful.
I simply cooked them according to the package directions. There are two options to choose from – I used the microwave method and it was super simple. Next, I quickly sauteed them with the garlic and parmesan. It was so simple, yet so good!
My family raved about them. I even served them to guests one night and everyone couldn’t stop talking about them. Next time, I’m thinking of adding them to my Chicken Noodle Soup recipe. I think it would be a fun twist on a classic recipe.
