Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the Carrots - Spread the baby carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
  3. Step 3: Melt the Butter - Melt the butter along with the minced garlic in a microwave-safe dish for about 30 seconds.
  4. Step 4: Coat the Carrots - Drizzle the melted garlic butter over the carrots and stir to coat them evenly.
  5. Step 5: Initial Baking - Bake the carrots for about 10 minutes, then stir.
  6. Step 6: Add Cheese and Parsley - Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and parsley over the carrots and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Check for Doneness - Check the carrots for tenderness; they should be fork-tender and have a golden crust.
