Roasted Carrots Recipe – Parmesan Roast Carrots with Panko

This roasted carrots recipe is a family favorite. The Parmesan roast carrots are topped with grated cheese and Panko bread crumbs for a wonderful flavor and crunchy texture.

Roasting carrots brings out their natural sweetness and I often cook them this way. It’s easy and a great way to get kids to eat vegetables they might not want to try.

Making this Parmesan roasted carrots recipe

You can cut the carrots to make them cook a bit more quickly if you like, but I love the presentation of leaving the carrots long.

It turns an ordinary side dish into something a bit more special.

If you can get them from the Farmer’s Market, even better, since they will be much fresher than those from the grocery store!

I love how quickly the garlic Parmesan roasted carrot recipe comes together.  If you are using whole carrots, try to choose those that are a similar size, so they will cook evenly.

Just peel your carrots. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and season them with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Combine the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl for the carrot drizzle.

Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the carrots and give them a good stir to combine the butter and garlic over the surface of the carrots.

Roast in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, giving the carrots a bit of a stir every so often.

Now comes the extra special part.  I grated 1/4 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese and added 1 tbsp of Panko bread crumbs.

To keep my recipe gluten free, I used Ian’s Gluten free Panko bread crumbs.

The recipe can be made with normal Panko breadcrumbs if you wish and the results will be similar.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan cheese and Panko bread crumbs. Then continue roasting the breaded carrots for another 5 or 10 minutes until the carrots are tender.

The carrots are sweet and tender with a richness that comes from the fresh Parmesan cheese.
