Notes
- :
- For a bit of extra flavor, you can sprinkle the carrots with red pepper flakes before roasting if you like a little heat.
- You can use baby carrots for a quicker prep or substitute with other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes.
- If you want the Parmesan to be extra crispy, broil the carrots for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, but be careful not to burn them.
