A delightful twist on roasted carrots, enhanced with garlic and herbs for a flavorful side dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal caramelization.
Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or chunks, depending on your preference.
Cut the carrots uniformly to ensure they cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, and mixed herbs until well coated.
Use your hands to mix for better coating and even distribution.
Spread the carrots on a baking sheet lined with foil, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Spacing the carrots prevents steaming and promotes roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then stir and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Check for doneness by piercing a carrot with a fork; it should be tender.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while still hot.
Adding Parmesan while hot allows it to melt slightly, enhancing the flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious roasted carrots.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and added flavor.
