Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature helps the carrots caramelize beautifully. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it so the carrots don’t stick.
Prepare the Carrots: In a large bowl, toss together the carrot sticks, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Make sure every carrot is well-coated in the mixture for maximum flavor!
Spread the Carrots: Transfer the carrots to your prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. This will ensure they roast evenly and turn out perfectly.
Roast the Carrots: Pop the baking sheet in the oven and roast the carrots for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, give them a turn with a spatula to promote even cooking. They should be tender and have a lovely caramelized edge when done.
Add the Parmesan: Once the carrots are done, take them out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot carrots. Toss them lightly to let the cheese melt just a bit on the warm surface.
Garnish and Serve: Finally, finish off by garnishing with chopped fresh parsley. If you like a little heat, sprinkle on the optional red chili flakes. Serve the carrots warm as a tasty side dish, and enjoy!
