Garlic PARMESAN ROASTED CARROTS
Description
This recipe uses whole or halved carrots tossed in olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roasted at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, the carrots cook until tender yet maintain some firmness. Turning them halfway ensures even cooking and a golden finish on the Parmesan/breadcrumb crust.
The combination of garlic and Parmesan provides a savory contrast to the natural sweetness and earthiness of the carrots. Optionally, a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a fresh herbal note and a pop of green color before serving.
Keeping the carrot skins on is suggested to impart a more earthy flavor, appealing to those who enjoy a deeper carrot taste. The simple preparation makes this recipe an accessible yet flavorful vegetable side.

- 1 pinch black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley optional, fresh
Instructions

Notes
- Keeping the carrot skins on before roasting enhances the earthy flavor.
