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.Garlic and butter mixture

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.
