Crispy Smashed Carrots: A Delightful Vegetable Side Dish

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F.

2. 2. Boil the Carrots: Place the carrot rounds in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until just tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the carrots and let them cool slightly.

3. 3. Smash the Carrots: Using the bottom of a glass or a fork, gently smash each carrot round to flatten them slightly. This will help create the crispy, crunchy texture we’re after.

4. 4. Season the Carrots: Arrange the smashed carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the carrots evenly.

5. 5. Roast the Carrots: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the Crispy Smashed Carrots are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

6. 6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the carrots from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve them hot and crispy.

Notes

These Crispy Smashed Carrots are incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with a wide variety of main dishes. Consider serving them alongside roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even a hearty vegetarian meal like a quinoa salad.
