Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound carrots Fresh, firm carrots are preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic will yield better results.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese You can substitute with any hard cheese if needed.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust seasoning as per preference.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Use as a garnish when serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into even-sized pieces, around 2 to 3 inches long.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add in the carrot pieces and toss until they are all evenly coated.
  4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the carrots and toss again to ensure they are thoroughly covered.
Cooking
  1. Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Stir the carrots halfway through the cooking time.
  3. After 25 minutes, check the carrots. They should be golden brown, tender, and slightly caramelized.
  4. Once roasted, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

These roasted carrots can be served alongside grilled chicken, baked fish, or plant-based dishes. Leftover carrots can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for about 3 months.
