Tender baby carrots with Parmesan and honey, roasted golden and caramelized for a sweet-savory, crispy side or snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 lb baby carrots

→ Coating

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil

05 - ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These carrots walk that perfect line between healthy side dish and indulgent snack, so you never feel guilty going back for seconds.
  • The honey-Parmesan coating creates these delightful crispy edges that even vegetable skeptics cant resist.
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam the carrots rather than roast them, so use your largest baking sheet or split between two pans if needed.
  • The carrots will continue crisping up slightly as they cool, so its better to pull them from the oven just before they look perfectly done.
03 -
  • Patting the baby carrots dry with paper towels before tossing with the oil mixture helps them crisp up much better in the oven.
  • For maximum cheese coverage, toss the hot carrots in a bowl with the Parmesan rather than just sprinkling it over them on the baking sheet.
