Garlic Parmesan Roasted Baby Carrots with Crispy Edges

Easy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Baby Carrots – roasting carrots brings out their natural sweetness and deep flavor. Garlic, Parmesan, oregano and a touch of butter make them irresistible.

Roasting vegetables is one of the simplest, most flavorful ways to cook them. Toss carrots with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan and oregano, roast until tender and lightly caramelized, and you have a side dish that’s both healthy and full of flavor. This method highlights the carrots’ sweetness and gives them a pleasing texture that kids and adults both enjoy.

Silicone baking mats or parchment paper work great to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. I often roast a variety of vegetables the same way—Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower all benefit from the same treatment. For these baby carrots, a short toss with the seasoning and a 30–35 minute roast at 400°F yields soft, caramelized carrots with lots of flavor.
