Roasted Carrots with Garlic and Parmesan

Roasting carrots in the oven brings out their inherent sweetness, while Parmesan and garlic give this easy side dish a flavorful savoury accent.

1 lb medium carrots, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2-4 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C/200°C fan, Gas Mark 7). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Toss carrots, oil, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.

Turn the carrots over and sprinkle with Parmesan and garlic. Roast until the carrots are tender and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.

Makes 4 servings.
