We all know carrots are good for us. But munching on them raw or steamed can get a bit…yawn…boring. Thankfully, these oven-roasted cheesy Parmesan carrots are here to change the game. So grab your apron, and let’s get roasting!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Additional grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. 
  2. While the oven heats, peel your carrots and slice them lengthwise into halves or quarters.
  3. Place the carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the carrots are well-coated with the seasoning. 
  4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrots. Toss again for even coating.
  5. Spread the carrots out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the edges are golden.
  6. Once the carrots are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy.
