Ingredients
- Carrots – peeled and cut evenly (baby, full-sized, or rainbow)
- Parmesan Cheese – freshly grated, not shredded
- Olive Oil – or melted butter for richness
- Garlic Powder – or minced garlic
- Italian Seasoning – or herbs like thyme or oregano
- Salt & Pepper – to taste
- Optional: parsley, red pepper flakes, or honey drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with rack in the middle.
- Peel and chop carrots into even sticks or coins for uniform roasting.
- In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add half of the Parmesan cheese and mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread carrots in a single layer.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then flip and roast for another 10–15 minutes.
- In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the carrots.
- Optional: top with chili flakes or parsley before serving.
Notes
Dry your carrots before roasting to avoid sogginess. Don’t overcrowd the pan, and grate your own cheese for the crispiest results.
