Smashed Carrots
These cheesy Smashed Carrots are made with just two main ingredients and come together easily with our step-by-step instructions. Whether you're serving them as a side or a snack, they're a low-carb crowd-pleaser the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1 cup good quality grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, steam the carrots until fork tender. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Once the carrots are tender spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking oil very well. Then sprinkle half of the parmesan in an even layer across the pan. Evenly space the carrots on top of the parmesan.
- Now, using a heavy bottom glass or jar, carefully smash the carrots. Top the carrots with the remaining parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the carrots for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden around the edges and the carrots are crispy.
