You can find the full method for making this crispy parmesan carrot recipe on @cookingwithayeh’s website, but we’ve popped a general guide to whipping the dish up below, too.

1. Chop carrots in half and half again
2. Mix herbs, oil and seasoning into a bowl to create your marinade
3. Add carrots to marinade
4. Grate parmesan cheese and coat your marinaded carrots in the cheese
5. Pop carrots into an oven-safe dish and bake away
   

The TikToker shared in the caption that those trying the recipe at home should “make sure to remove the carrots from the dish straight away when they come out of the oven. Parmesan cheese gets super crispy once it cools down so you want to make sure the crust is on you carrots and doesn’t get stuck to the dish”.
