Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, preferably organic

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Carrots: Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the carrots into long, thin ribbons. Take your time to create an even thickness for even roasting.

      Season the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the carrot ribbons with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure each ribbon is coated evenly.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrot ribbons out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for optimal roasting.

          Roast the Carrots: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

            Add the Cheese: Remove the carrots from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, take the baking sheet out of the oven and sprinkle the fresh parsley and lemon zest over the roasted carrot ribbons. Serve warm as a savory side dish or a healthy appetizer.
