These Parmesan Garlic Roasted Carrots are a delicious and easy side dish featuring tender roasted carrots coated in a flavorful mixture of butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Perfectly roasted to bring out natural sweetness, topped with fresh parsley for a bright finish.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Carrots

  • 2 pounds carrots, washed, scrubbed, diagonally cut into about 3-inch pieces

Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Toppings

  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the carrots.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Prep Carrots: Place the prepared carrot pieces in a large mixing bowl and set them aside.
  4. Make Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in the microwave. Once melted, add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the butter, whisking until fully combined to evenly coat the carrots with flavor.
  5. Coat Carrots: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the carrots and toss to thoroughly coat. Add the grated parmesan cheese and mix again until evenly distributed.
  6. Arrange Carrots on Sheet: Transfer the coated carrots to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even roasting.
  7. Roast Carrots: Bake the carrots for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender. Stir or mix the carrots halfway through to ensure they roast evenly on all sides.
  8. Season to Taste: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and taste the carrots. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary to your preference.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the roasted carrots with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute butter with olive oil for a slightly lighter version.
  • To add more depth of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes along with the Italian seasoning.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the parmesan cheese or use a vegan parmesan substitute.
  • Make sure to toss the carrots halfway through roasting for even cooking and browning.
  • These roasted carrots pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, grilled meats, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
