Ingredients
- Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks: 1 pound
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Dried Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss again, ensuring the carrots are well-coated with the cheese mixture.
- Step 4: Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan for maximum crispiness.
- Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Store leftover Crispy Parmesan Carrots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, spread the carrots on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Serve these cheesy carrots as a delicious and healthy side dish with roasted chicken, fish, or your favorite vegetarian main course.
- For extra crispy carrots, ensure they are thoroughly dried after peeling and before tossing with the oil and Parmesan.
