These were so delicious and easy to make in under 30 minutes. Simply peel your carrots and slice them into 3 pieces (2 pieces if theyāre short carrots). Then slice those smaller pieces in half lengthwise so that each piece has a flat side. Mix up the oil mixture and coat the vegetables in that. You can just as easily roast them like this, but the level up of dipping them in the freshly grated parm is incredible.

Parmesan cheese is mentioned twice. Is there supposed to be another type of cheese?
- Reply
- Stella
Hi Tina,
Yes, in the oil mixture I used store bought grated cheese, it holds up better. For the last step āDIPPINGā into the cheese, I used freshly grated cheese.- Reply

can you do these in the air fryer instead?

Why no parchment paper?
- Reply
- Stella
Hi Susan, the contact with the baking sheet is what creates the crisp. You can definitely still use parchment and they will still be delicious ā just less crispy! Enjoy!

Do you spray the baking sheet first? With non-stick spray?
- Reply
- Stephen
I did not spray the pan. You can but there is oil in the coating of the carrots and that does the trick!

I did it both ways, cause I didnāt notice the no parchment thing until the first pan went in. š¤·āāļø. The parchment made the cheese disappear. The pan made the cheese crispy. Definitely go no parchment.

I had a jar of pesto so I used that to cover my carrots and bought shredded parmesan instead. Found that the cheese wouldnāt stick so I made lines of cheese on my pan and placed the carrots on top which worked great.
Next time Iāll shred my own. This was delicious, no need for dip.- Reply

I made this recipe and it was delicious but my problem was a lot of my cheese stuck to the bottom of the pan and then when I tried to scrape it off it just all curled up off the carrot. but those that still had the crust on them was delicious. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from sticking?

I have made this two separate occasions. The first time I used parchment paper and they came out SO crispy and so so good. The second time (tonight) I spent so much time grating Parmesan cheese and cleaning my carrots, shaving them. I saw that she said to not use parchment so I used aluminum & some spray. Well after twenty five minutes I took them out and they were stuck! So stuck in fact I would try to use a spatula to scrap them off and some of the aluminum would come off with it.
Next time parchment paper will be a must because it was so messy, time consuming and frustrating to have to scrape off all my hard work & little of the cheese stayed with it.- Reply

Watched your carrot clip, bought me some ingredients en started cooking.
The taste was very good, Loved it!
Just one thing I could not get wright.
I did all you mentioned in the recipe but my cheese did not strick on the carrots.
What could I have done wrong? (could it be the linseed oil I used?!)
Thank you!!!- Reply

Made them on a baking tray without parchment paper and they just stuck to the tray so the burnt cheese stayed on the tray while I tried to scrape them off. Now I have a tray with a lot of burnt cheese, but not much on the carrots.

I have made this recipe twice. The first time I used all fresh grated parm. The second time I used store grated for the mixture and fresh for the dipping. Plus I added Brussel sprouts to the mix.
The first time they came out incredible. I mean addicting even. I told my husband I could eat these and leave fries alone.
The second time was for dinner tonight and my husband said he liked it even better. I was a nice combo with our BBQ chicken. I highly recommend this recipe. I saw it first on Instagram and new I had to make it.
Thank you for a great side.- Reply

Unfortunately, my carrots would not come off from the baking sheets with the cheese. The cheese was solidly stuck to the pan, leaving the ācrispyā part behind.
