Roasted parmesan carrots go with almost any main dish, and they are absolutely wonderful! It’ll be easy to get everyone to eat their veggies because they’re so good!

One of the things I love about roasted carrots is that the process brings out the natural sweetness of this vegetable. Some folks like to add even more sugar, but I think the amount of sweetness they already have is perfect!

Parmesan Roasted Carrots

If you like crispy textures, then you probably appreciate roasted vegetables. I made these in the traditional oven, but you can also cook them in your air fryer if you have limited time. Follow these oven times vs. air fryer times to get the best results.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Roast Carrots

You only need a few ingredients, some that you may have in your pantry. Here is what you’ll need:

• Carrots
• Parmesan cheese (shredded or grated)
• Olive oil
• Salt (Himalayan salt, kosher salt, or sea salt)
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Thyme
• Parsley flakes (optional for garnish)

I’ve played around with this recipe and added different seasonings. If you’re an adventurous cook, try some of your own. I’ve added cinnamon and cayenne, and they came out absolutely delicious. However, that might be a tad too spicy for young children.

Optional ingredients you may want to add:

• Minced cloves of garlic
• Rosemary
• Dill weed
• Sage 
• Cinnamon
• Cayenne

I’ve made these carrots so many different ways, and we’ve enjoyed them every time. However, I keep going back to the original recipe because it’s so easy and tasty. 

Tools You’ll Need to Make Roasted Parmesan Carrots

You’ll need a bowl, a knife, a cutting board, a spoon for stirring, a baking sheet, and some parchment paper. If you’re grating your own cheese, you’ll need a cheese grater or food processor with a grating attachment.

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Carrots

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Slice all of the carrots lengthwise into uniform carrot sticks. I used baby carrots, but you can use the regular size carrots and cut them into thirds.

Put the carrots in the bowl and add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Toss the ingredients until the carrots are well coated.

Pour the carrots out onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread them into a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes. Pull them out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded or grated parmesan cheese over the top. Gently toss to coat the carrots with the cheese. Garnish with parsley flakes. Serve hot.
