Crispy Parmesan Smashed Carrots

 


From The Kitchn and Chreryl's Healthy Life. Carrots are my favorite vegetable... Picture is not the greatest, but these are delicious. So good could be served as a appetizer! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound carrots, about 8 medium carrots, or about 3-4 cups
  • 2 tablespoons EVOO
  • about 1/2 cup finely-grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • fresh ground pepper
  • finely chopped fresh herbs for serving, such as parsley
Directions:
Heat oven to 400-degrees.

Peel carrots, then cut crosswise into 2-inch peices. Cut each piece in half lengthwise.

Place in a medium shallow Anyday dish with 1 tablespoon water. Microwave for about 7 minutes or until  knife-tender.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon EVOO over carrots along with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss to coat.

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Brush with 1 tablespoon of EVOO and sprinkle with the Parmesan. 

Arrange the seasoned carrots in a single layer atop Parmesan. Using the bottom of a metal measuring cup, smash each piece until flattened.

Roast for 20-25 minutes until undersides of carrots are deeply golden brown.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs.
