Crispy Parmesan Carrots are a simple and delicious side dish featuring tender roasted carrots coated in olive oil and topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The roasting process brings out natural sweetness while creating a crispy exterior that’s perfectly complemented by the savory cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

Dressing and Topping

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into evenly sized sticks to ensure even roasting. This also helps them crisp up nicely.
  2. Coat the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. This helps the carrots crisp and enhances their flavor.
  3. Roast the carrots: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to promote even cooking and a crispy texture.
  4. Add Parmesan: About 5 minutes before the end of roasting, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the carrots. Continue roasting until the cheese is melted and golden brown, creating a crispy, flavorful crust.
  5. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a savory side dish or snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and meltability.
  • For extra crispiness, pat the carrots dry before coating with oil.
  • You can add garlic powder or fresh herbs like thyme for additional flavor variations.
  • If you prefer milder cheese, substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated, but the crispiness may reduce.
