Ingredients
  

4 large carrots

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Carrots: Peel the carrots and use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons. If you notice any irregular shapes, simply cut them into ribbons as well. Aim for uniformity in thickness for even roasting.

      Season the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot ribbons with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss until the ribbons are evenly coated in the seasoning.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrot ribbons in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It's important to avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast properly and get crispy.

          Roast the Carrots: Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly golden.

            Add Parmesan: Remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and become golden brown.

              Finishing Touches: Once roasted, remove from the oven and sprinkle lemon zest over the top for a bright finish. Toss gently to combine.

                Serve: Transfer the Golden Parmesan Roasted Carrot Ribbons to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy this delightful side dish!
