PSA: If you haven’t been roasting your carrots, you should start now. Roasting carrots concentrates their sweetness, amplifying their natural flavors. Pair that with copious amounts of umami-packed Parmesan and just a touch of lemon, and you’ve got a super-irresistible side dish that you’ll come back to again and again.
The real trick to this recipe is adding the Parmesan in two stages. First, you’ll toss the carrots with some cheese right before roasting, so it melts into the carrots as they turn tender. Then, once the carrots are out of the oven, you’ll add a little lemon juice, some fresh parsley, and even more Parmesan. It will not only give them an extra burst of cheese-y flavor, but they’ll be even prettier to present.
Pair these carrots with our maple-pecan crusted chicken, cowboy butter steak, or countless other mains for a satisfying dinner any night of the week.
