I used to not really be much of a carrot fan. My parents pushed carrots on me often as a kid. They kept saying that it would help with my vision (spoiler alert: it didn’t haha). Pretty much the only way I would eat carrots as a kid was dipped in ranch dressing.

Even as an adult, I still can’t get behind raw carrots. They’re a great snack in a pinch but I never was a fan of the carrot taste. BUT ROASTING is a totally different story. Like, the flavors are completely morphed.

It like brings out this sweetness and caramelization of the carrots.

Then you sprinkle garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and thyme all over the baby carrots and roast them and holy elevation of flavors!

My SIL made these over Christmas and I have been making them ever since. It’s the only way I’ll eat carrots now. It’s so easy, too, because you just grab a pack of the small baby carrots at the grocery store and you have at least four servings.

They reheat beautifully and there really isn’t an excuse to not make these!

So easy that you can make these tonight with your dinner!

  1. I made this tonight as a side for roast beef. Thank you for another flavorful and delicious side dish. 

  2. Really yummy, but I’d suggest putting LOTS of parm on this as the flavor sort of faded in the oven. Great side dish.

    1. That’s on purpose; I do it by eyeballing. I would say if you want numbers, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and everything else to taste.

  3. Okay, I HATE cooked carrots but I needed a veggie to go with Holy Yum chicken last night and saw this recommended as a side and I’m SO glad I tried them! I used Avocado Oil instead of olive oil to accommodate a higher temp and roasted them at the same time as my chicken (used breast so followed your recommendation of shorter cook time). They were delicious last night and possibly even better today when I tossed the leftovers into my salad. Thank you so much for sharing this quick, easy and tasty recipe!
