A simple recipe for making flavorful, slightly crispy roasted carrots coated with Parmesan cheese and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces, about 1/2 inch thick, so they cook evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until they are fully coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the carrots.
  7. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the cheese is golden brown and slightly crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, cut carrots into similar sizes so they roast at the same rate.
  • If you prefer softer carrots, you can steam them for 5 minutes before tossing them with oil and garlic.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
