Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for medium-sized carrots with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are too large or have cracks or blemishes, as these may indicate that they are old or woody.
  • Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin layer of skin.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into 2-3 inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The quality of the Parmesan cheese will greatly impact the flavor of the roasted carrots. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months and has a hard, crumbly texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the baking sheet will prevent the carrots from roasting evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the carrots and how hot your oven is. However, a good rule of thumb is to roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Conclusion:

Parmesan roasted carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and have a wonderful cheesy flavor. Plus, they are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give Parmesan roasted carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
