Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to roast the carrots to a crisp golden finish.
  2. Prepare the Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks to ensure they cook uniformly.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil and Garlic: In a large bowl, combine the carrot sticks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until the carrots are evenly coated.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the carrots and toss again gently to distribute the cheese evenly.
  5. Roast the Carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the carrots are tender and the Parmesan is crispy and golden.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the carrots from the oven and serve immediately for the best crisp texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-packaged shredded cheese.
  • You can add herbs such as thyme or rosemary for additional flavor.
  • Make sure the carrots are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Adjust garlic amount based on your preference for pungency.
