Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots (Fresh, firm carrots are preferred.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (Fresh garlic will yield better results.)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (You can substitute with any hard cheese if needed.)
- Salt and pepper to taste (Adjust seasoning as per preference.)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) (Use as a garnish when serving.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the carrots if you like.
- Cut them into even sticks or leave small carrots whole.
- Mince the garlic.
- Toss the carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in one layer.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until carrots are tender and edges are browned.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle Parmesan over hot carrots.
- Toss gently so cheese melts and sticks. Garnish with parsley if you want.
Notes
Avoid adding Parmesan too early to prevent burning. For better caramelization, use a hot oven.
