Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the carrots by cutting them into sticks or leaving them whole if they are thin.
Toss the carrots in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano until evenly coated.
Spread the carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the carrots in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
