Parmesan Baby Carrot Chips (Printable)

Golden roasted baby carrots with crispy Parmesan and honey glaze

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 lb baby carrots

→ Coating

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tbsp honey
04 - ½ tsp sea salt
05 - ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
06 - ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

→ Cheese

07 - ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine baby carrots with olive oil, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
04 - Remove carrots from oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over them, and toss gently to coat.
05 - Return carrots to oven and roast for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden, caramelized, and Parmesan is crisp.
06 - Allow carrots to cool slightly to maximize crispiness before serving.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • The way the Parmesan creates these salty, crispy cheese clusters that stick to the carrots
  • That perfect moment when sweet honey hits sharp cheese and everything caramelizes
  • How something so simple feels fancy enough for company but easy enough for Tuesday
02 -
  • Overcrowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with steamed carrots instead of roasted ones
  • The honey burns easily so keep an eye on them during those final minutes
  • Freshly grated Parmesan is non-negotiable. The pre-grated stuff simply will not crisp properly
03 -
  • Let your oven fully preheat before the carrots go in. That initial blast of high heat is what creates the best caramelization
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any escaped cheese from burning onto the bottom of your oven
