Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the baby carrots thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the carrots in this mixture until they are well-coated.
Spread the coated carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they become tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the carrots, and return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and turn golden.
Once done, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course!
