Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots are a simple yet flavorful side dish featuring tender roasted carrots coated in a savory mixture of olive oil, garlic, and spices, then topped with melted Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for a delicious finish. This recipe is perfect for a healthy, comforting addition to any meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Carrots and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut lengthwise
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced into a paste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic-oil mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic paste, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic-infused oil.
  2. Coat the carrots: Add the peeled and halved carrots to the bowl and stir until the carrots are evenly coated with the garlic-oil mixture, ensuring every piece is well seasoned.
  3. Arrange the carrots for roasting: Spread the coated carrots in a single layer on a sheet pan, making sure they do not overlap to allow even roasting. Retain any remaining garlic-oil mixture in the bowl for later.
  4. Roast the carrots: Place the sheet pan in a preheated oven and roast the carrots for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the carrots over to promote even cooking.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the carrots. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese has melted, and the carrots are tender with lightly browned edges.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the carrots from the oven and toss them with the chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, herby finish.

Notes

  • Using fresh garlic cloves minced into a paste gives the best flavor, but garlic powder can be used as a substitute in a pinch.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor; feel free to increase or decrease amount based on taste preferences.
  • Cutting the carrots lengthwise helps them cook evenly and get a nice caramelized surface.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the Parmesan or use a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Make sure carrots are spread out in a single layer to avoid steaming and ensure they roast properly.
