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.
