Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cover carrots with water in a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the carrots and return back to the hot pot to dry them. Toss the carrots with oil and spices and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (optional).
  • Spread half of the parmesan on the prepared baking sheet. Place the coated carrots on top with a little bit of space between each carrot. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and use a flat-bottomed glass to smash each carrot gently.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is crisp and browned. Serve warm.
