Properly Seasoned Carrots

The key to the best roasted carrots is to make sure that they’re properly seasoned.

I like to use a generous amount of salt and pepper.

All the Same Sized Carrots

Another tip is to make sure that your carrots are all about the same size.

This will help them cook evenly.

If your carrots are too big, you can always cut them in half.

Or better yet, use baby carrots for less prep work!

Don’t Forget the Parmesan

And finally, don’t forget the Parmesan cheese!

The cheese really takes these roasted carrots to the next level.

How long do these carrots take to roast?

These carrots take about 20-25 minutes to roast.

What kind of Parmesan cheese should I use?

I recommend using freshly grated Parmesan cheese for this recipe for the best flavor.

However, you can also use pre-grated Parmesan cheese if you prefer.

You can roast the carrots up to 2 days in advance.

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Reheat them in a 350-degree F oven for about 10 minutes before serving.

Can I use a different type of cheese in this recipe?

If you’re not a fan of Parmesan cheese, you can try using another type of cheese in its place.

Sharp cheddar cheese would be a good substitute.

I don’t have fresh garlic. Can I use garlic powder instead?

Yes, you can use garlic powder in this recipe.

I recommend using 2-3 teaspoons, or to taste, of garlic powder in place of the fresh garlic.
