Easy Cooked Carrots Spirals

Forget pasta, these easy cooked carrots spirals are my new favorite side dish.  They are bursting with garlic parmesan flavors and super easy to make.

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.
