Ingredients
• 2 lbs (900g) baby carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
• 1 head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
• 3 tbsp (45ml) olive oil
• 1 cup (100g) grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp (5g) salt
• 1/2 tsp (2.5g) black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving a beautiful caramelized crust on the carrots and garlic.
- Prepare the Carrots and Garlic: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and halved baby carrots with the separated and peeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Season and Bake: Spread the carrots and garlic in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the garlic is golden brown and fragrant.
- Add the Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the roasted carrots and garlic. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the parmesan is melted and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully transfer the Roasted Garlic Parmesan Carrots to a serving dish. Serve hot, allowing your guests to savor the incredible aroma and crispy, flavorful texture.
