Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound fresh carrots

Parmesan Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Olive Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Herbs

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Salsa Verde Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into even sticks to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Season the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated. This seasoning will enhance the natural sweetness of the carrots.
  3. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrots, ensuring each piece is generously coated. This will create a delicious crust as they roast.
  4. Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.
  5. Make the Salsa Verde: While the carrots are roasting, prepare the salsa verde by combining fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adjusting flavors as needed.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Once the carrots are roasted and crispy, remove them from the oven and drizzle the zesty salsa verde over the top. Give it a gentle toss to combine and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut your carrots into uniform sizes for even cooking and consistent crunch.
  • Use fresh herbs and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor in your salsa verde.
  • Roast in batches if necessary to ensure the carrots get crispy and not soggy.
  • Depending on the thickness of your carrot sticks, adjust the roasting time for perfect tenderness.
  • Enjoy the carrots right after roasting for the best crunch and flavor experience.
