Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) baby carrots (or regular carrots, cut into sticks)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the carrots will roast perfectly crispy.

    Prepare the Carrots: If you're using regular carrots, peel them and slice them into sticks about 4-5 inches long. Baby carrots can be used whole.

      Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until well combined.

        Coat the Carrots: Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them in the oil and seasoning mix until they're evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps them crisp up nicely without sticking.

            Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes.

              Add Parmesan Cheese: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the carrots.

                Continue Roasting: Return the carrots to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.

                  Serve: Once done, remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright finish.
