Easy Ranch Baby Carrots

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (16-ounce) package baby carrots, patted dry 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, optional
FOR THE RANCH SEASONING MIX: 
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley 
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill 
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. 
• To make the Ranch seasoning mix, combine parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, dill, and pepper in a small bowl. 
• Place carrots in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and Ranch seasoning mix. Gently toss to combine. 
• Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until tender. Stir in butter until melted, about 1 minute.  (I did not use the butter.  Didn't think it needed it!)
• Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
