Crispy Parmesan Carrots are a flavorful and easy-to-make side dish featuring tender carrots roasted to perfection with garlic, rosemary, and a crispy parmesan crust for a deliciously savory finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots and Seasoning

  • 6 medium carrots, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Cheese

  • 2 cups (200 g) parmesan cheese, grated, divided

Garnish

  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Carrots: Cut the peeled carrots crosswise into 2-inch sections, then slice each section in half lengthwise for even cooking and a larger surface area for crispiness.
  3. Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, minced garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh rosemary. Stir well to blend flavours.
  4. Coat Carrots: Add the carrot pieces to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
  5. Prepare Cheese Base: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of grated parmesan cheese over the parchment paper in an 8×12-inch rectangle to create a crispy parmesan layer under the carrots.
  6. Arrange Carrots: Place each carrot piece cut side down onto the parmesan-coated parchment paper, positioning them tightly in a rectangular pattern without gaps for even crisping.
  7. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the arranged carrots for extra cheesiness and crunch.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until carrots are tender and easily pierced with a knife, and the parmesan forms a crispy crust.
  9. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Air Fryer Instructions: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Place the carrots cut side down over the cheese, spray with cooking spray, then air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until tender and crispy.
  • Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best melting and crisping results.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for more or less spiciness.
  • Make sure to place carrots tightly together to maximize the crispy parmesan effect.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
