Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots washed, scrubbed, and cut diagonally into 3-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet with edges
  • Parchment paper or nonstick spray
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Wash and scrub the carrots thoroughly; cut them diagonally into 3-inch pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second intervals. Then add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; whisk together.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the carrots and mix again, then spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast the carrots in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Check for tenderness and avoid mushiness, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with substitutions, such as using pecorino romano instead of parmesan or olive oil instead of butter for a vegan version.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
For a quick prep, use baby carrots halved lengthwise and remember not to overcrowd the pan to achieve perfect caramelization. Enjoy garnished with parsley or more parmesan!
