Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh medium-sized carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks or rounds
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure consistent roasting.
  2. Toss the Carrots with Garlic and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the carrots with minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until the carrots are well-coated to help the garlic infuse its flavor during roasting.
  3. Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to allow even heat circulation. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and golden brown.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the carrots from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot carrots so it slightly melts. Gently toss to evenly combine the cheese without breaking the carrots.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious and elegant side dish.

Notes

  • Cut carrots evenly for consistent cooking and perfect texture.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for best flavor and aroma.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting and caramelization.
  • Use quality freshly grated Parmesan for superior flavor and melting.
  • Adjust salt and pepper seasoning after roasting to avoid over-seasoning.
