Crispy Smashed Carrot Bites

The perfect summer side to compliment any seafood dish.

Ingredients:

1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into thick rounds
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil carrot rounds in salted water for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Place carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently press down on each round to flatten slightly.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
