Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch sticks

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cut carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the carrots are evenly coated.

      Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dressed carrots and toss again, ensuring the cheese clings to the oil and garlic evenly.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

          Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and starting to caramelize. Stir the carrots halfway through to ensure even roasting.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the carrots from the oven. If desired, drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

              Enjoy! Serve the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots warm as a delightful side dish to complement any meal.
