Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Carrots with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cut carrots with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure the carrots are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to help them crisp properly.
  4. Bake Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the Parmesan cheese has turned a light golden brown, creating a crispy exterior.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs if desired. Serve the crispy Parmesan carrots warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the carrots for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking—but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust the amount of Parmesan and garlic powder to taste for a stronger flavor.
  • Try using different fresh herbs such as basil or chives to vary the flavor profile.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
