Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into thick sticks or halved if small
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cut carrots into uniform sizes for even roasting.
In a large bowl, toss carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
Spread carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the carrots and roast for an additional 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp.
Garnish with parsley, add extra cheese if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite holiday mains.
