These Crispy Parmesan Roasted Carrots Are Going Viral on TikTok For All the Right Reasons

 by KALEY ROHLINGER 

After trying this recipe, I’ve adopted the belief that all vegetables should be roasted with butter and Parmesan and served with a honey mustard dipping sauce. For now, I’ll settle for these carrots, since they’re just that good.

Now that I’ve made and tasted the recipe myself, I fully understand why Caitlin Latessa-Greene, the cook behind @starinfinitefood, adopted TikTok’s Parmesan potato hack for carrots. By cooking the carrots cut-side down on a bed of grated Parmesan and butter, you’re guaranteed to develop the perfect Parmesan crisp on every carrot. That is to say, if you’ve ever been disappointed by mushy, flavorless roasted carrots in the past, this recipe is the antidote.

These Parmesan roasted carrots are super simple to make, to the point where the result almost makes you feel like you’re cheating. It takes a little work and just a few spices — plus Parmesan, of course — to turn carrots into crispy, cheesy, roasted bites of goodness. Dipping or slathering them in a homemade honey mustard sauce (made with Greek yogurt for a protein bonus) really takes them to the next level — and take it from someone who devoured the entire batch while writing this article.

Latessa-Greene recommends topping the carrots with fresh herbs, but I thought the remaining Parmesan crumbs from the pan were the perfect cherry on top. Serve them as a side dish, snack, or appetizer that will have everyone obsessed.

Sold? Here’s how to make TikTok’s crispy Parmesan roasted carrots along with the honey mustard dipping sauce, inspired by Latessa-Greene.
