Learn how to make delicious Crispy Parmesan Carrots. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound of carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step reminds me of the anticipation in the air as my abuela and I would prepare for family gatherings, always starting with a warm and welcoming kitchen.
In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, ensuring each piece is well coated. The olive oil adds a richness that’s reminiscent of the Mediterranean adventures I had when traveling with Marco.
Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the carrots are evenly coated with the cheesy, aromatic blend.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and develop that irresistible crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and golden brown. Remember to turn them halfway through for even cooking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture that my family loves.
Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
