Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups baby carrots (or 3 large carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into pieces)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- a fresh herb, such as parsley, for garnish (optional)
Here’s how to make it:
- In a skillet, add the olive oil and carrots over medium heat. Add the oregano, garlic powder and onion powder and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. (You can use cut carrots or baby carrots for this recipe. Instead of oregano, you could use thyme or an herb blend such as Italian or Greek seasoning blend.)
- Cook over medium heat until carrots are tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, then serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
