- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.

- Pour the butter mixture over the carrots and toss to coat. Add in the grated parmesan cheese and mix until combined.
- Transfer carrots to the baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Mix them around halfway through cooking.
- Remove from oven. Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.

Notes
- Cut Evenly: Try to cut the carrots into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
- Coat Well: Generously coat the carrots with garlic, butter, and parmesan for full flavor.
- Space Out: Arrange the carrots in a single layer, allowing space on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
- Watch Time: Monitor roasting to avoid overcooking; times may vary.
- Season to Taste: Adjust seasonings as needed, or add herbs and spices that you like.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh garlic and freshly grated parmesan.
- Reheat Properly: Use the oven or stove to reheat so as to maintain texture and flavor.
- Prepare Carrots Ahead Of Time: Roast the carrots in the oven a day before you need them, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. When you're ready to serve them, spread the carrots out on a rimmed baking sheet and reheat them in a 425°F oven for 5 minutes.
- Storing Leftovers: You can keep any leftover carrots in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
