Tips
  • Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots will have a better flavor and texture than frozen carrots.
  • Peel the carrots. Peeling the carrots will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Cut the carrots into even pieces. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you crowd the baking sheet, the carrots will not cook evenly.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook the carrots, they will become mushy.
  • Sprinkle the carrots with Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help the cheese to melt and brown evenly.
  • You can add other seasonings to the carrots, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • You can also vary the cooking method. For example, you can fry the carrots instead of roasting them.
  • If you are looking for a healthier option, you can use a light cooking oil, such as canola oil.
  • You can also use a non-stick baking sheet to prevent the carrots from sticking.
