Garlic Parmesan Oven Roasted Baby Carrots Recipe
This is an easy roasted carrots recipe that is baked in garlic butter and topped with sprinkles of parmesan cheese and freshly cut parsley. It’s the perfect side dish for a holiday meal or weeknight dinner, especially during the summer if you have fresh carrots from your garden.
Ingredients
- 12-16 ounces Baby Carrots or 3 Medium-Sized Carrots peeled and chopped into 3″ long by ½" thick pieces
- ⅓ cup Butter
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Freshly Chopped Parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper for an easier cleanup and less sticking.
- Spread carrots in a single layer on the pan.
- Melt butter with garlic in a microwave-safe dish in microwave for about 30 seconds. Drizzle carrots with garlic butter.
- Place pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, stir carrots. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley leaves. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
Notes
I usually use a bag of baby carrots, but whole carrots can be used (also seen in my photos), the bake time may vary a little depending on the width of the carrots. Slice them into 3" long pieces that are ½" thick.
If you don't have parchment paper - no problem! Lightly grease the pan instead. Even with the butter in the recipe, they begin to stick as they bake. Using a nonstick cooking spray can help.
Butter can also be replaced with extra virgin olive oil.
