Smashed Parmesan Carrots

  4. Carefully remove plastic wrap and drain any remaining liquid

  5. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated

  6. Spread carrots in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet and gently press down each piece with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup until flattened and cracked slightly
