4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrots peeled, scrubbed, and chopped into 3-inch pieces
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley minced
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the oven and pan
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
Create the seasoning mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to incorporate.
Coat the carrots
- Add the prepared carrot pieces to the bowl. Toss until evenly coated with the butter mixture. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the carrots and toss once more to ensure even coverage.
Arrange and roast
- Spread the carrots evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces to allow proper roasting. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.
Finish and serve
- Remove from the oven once the carrots are tender and slightly crisp at the edges. Adjust seasoning as needed and garnish with minced parsley before serving.
