    • Vegetables - especially green beans. YUM.

    Buying a huge bag of carrots call for some way to use them up. And a recipe like these Roasted Garlic Carrots with Parmesan Cheese gives you a fighting chance of finishing up that big bag.

    What to serve with oven roasted carrots

    Here are a few main dishes that would go great with these parmesan carrots:

    • Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Breast
    • Easy Baked Salmon with Mayo
    • Easy Gluten-Free Turkey Burger Recipe
    • Baked Feta and Cherry Tomato Pasta (gluten-free)

    Are carrots good for me?

    Yes and yes! It's awesome how economical carrots are but they also pack major nutrition with a ton of benefits like fibre, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals, like vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin K.

    It's like a bag will cost as little as a buck sometimes.

    Like holy man that's a lot of nutrition for a dollar?!

    Top Tips

    Evenly cut carrots

    Do your best to cut the carrots at (approximately) the same width.

    Yes, I have a mandolin. And no, I didn't get it out.

    The seasoning is good on other things!

    The seasoning for these carrots is lovely.

    It's my new favourite go-to combo of oregano+basil+parsley.

    I'm not exactly sure what the dried parsley does (not much?) but this trio will save you in a pinch every time.

    Combine these three amigos together and throw it on roasted veggies, chicken or in a soup.

    Roasting time is forgiving

    The roasting of the carrots is super forgiving.

    I've left them in for an extra 25 min (whoops hehe) and I actually loved the browned, almost sweet-tasting result so feel free to leave them in longer than I have on this recipe.

    What to do with leftovers:

    The leftovers kept well in the fridge for a couple days.

    I ended up having a scoop with my eggs the next morning. Carrots for breakfast = Amazingness.

    I hope you try this recipe and love it like we do.

    Ingredients

    • 5 large carrots, sliced about ¼" thick 6 cups sliced
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon oregano
    • 1 Tbsp dried basil
    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

    • Place sliced carrots on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with a big pinch of salt and stir a bit on the baking sheet to coat the carrots.
    • Bake in pre-heated oven for 25 minutes. Be sure to check on them about half-way through and give them a flip.

    Notes

    Increase the cooking time by 10 minutes at a time if you like a crispier carrot. Check them every 10 additional minutes until you get the browning you're looking for.
