Make savory, cheesy roasted carrots with a crisp exterior and tender center using this simple recipe. This easy roasted vegetable side dish is packed with garlic and Parmesan flavor.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for better crisping.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. In the small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  6. Sprinkle the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over the partially roasted carrots. Gently toss them on the pan to coat.
  7. Return the carrots to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately as a quick vegetable side dish for dinner.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss the carrots with 1/2 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning before the first roast.
  • If you want a stronger garlic flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the salt and pepper.
  • Do not skip the single-layer arrangement; this is key to achieving perfectly roasted carrots.
