Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Carrots
Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Carrots
This recipe made us wonder, Why don’t we roast carrots more often? When they roast, their flavor concentrates and sweetens. Pair that with copious amounts of umami-packed Parmesan and just a touch of lemon, and you’ve got a super-irresistible dish that you’ll come back to again and again.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. small to medium carrots, peeled (about 15)
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 c. finely grated Parmesan, divided
-
Kosher salt
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Method:
- Step 1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut carrots crosswise on a bias into 2" to 3" pieces. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise.
- Step 2. On a large baking sheet, toss carrots with garlic, oil, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Spread in a single layer.
- Step 3. Bake carrots until tender and caramelized in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Step 4. Transfer carrots to a platter. Toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and toss just to combine.
