Ingredients
6 medium carrots
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel the carrots and cut them in half lengthwise and widthwise.
3. In a bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle the grated parmesan across the surface.
5. Place the carrots flat side down over the cheese and press lightly to help them stick.
6. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the cheese is crispy and golden.
7. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make sure to press the carrots firmly into the cheese layer before baking.
Freshly grated parmesan gives better texture and flavor than the powdered kind.
