- 8-10 carrots, peeled and cut in half

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.
To start, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Next, peel your carrots. Lay them out on the 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.
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 the carrots for 20 minutes, giving them a bit of a stir every so often.
Next, you’ll need to make the cheesy panko bread crumbs. I grated ¼ cup of fresh Parmesan cheese and added 1 tablespoon 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 the grated Parmesan cheese and Panko bread crumbs over them. Then continue roasting the breaded carrots for another 5 or 10 minutes until the carrots are tender.

I can't wait to try this tonight! I think I'll follow you. I love that you enjoy gardening and cooking. There's nothing like fresh ingredients.The only thing I will do differently, is not peel the carrots. I love them not peeled and I think the skins will be further enhanced by this yummy recipe.
