Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

Parmesan Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Olive Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic Powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salsa Verde

  • 1/2 cup salsa verde

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform sticks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Carrots: In a mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrots, ensuring they are fully covered. This will form a deliciously crunchy crust as they roast.
  4. Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  5. Drizzle with Salsa Verde: Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle generously with salsa verde. Toss gently to combine the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Cut the carrots into even sizes for consistent cooking and crunchiness.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Keep an eye on the carrots towards the end of cooking to avoid burning the cheese.
  • Use the freshest carrots and high-quality Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
