Marg’s Simple Oven Sautéed Carrots with Cheese

Jump to Recipe

Marg’s Simple Oven sautéed carrots with cheese, is from a recipe collection from one of my grandmother’s aunts. A simple and delicious side dish, for any weekday dinner. The naturally sweet flavour is brought out by oven roasting the carrots. The sharp taste of the cheese is a perfect way to balance the sweetness. These are my son’s favourite carrot side dish recipe!

Why I like Oven roasting

So often I am searching for a healthy vegetable that my children are actually going to enjoy, without adding too many other ingredients to it. I find that oven roasting is the best way to cook most vegetables. They keep their texture so much better than steaming or boiling. Plus, I find that oven roasting gives them a little added sweetness!

Ingredients

3-4 large carrots

¼ cup butter

¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (176 °C).
  2. In a pan, that can go in the oven, melt butter. I usually use a cookie sheet and pop it in the preheated oven for a minute of so to melt the butter.
  3. Peel and chop carrots into sticks or disks, whatever you prefer.
  4. Add to the pan and toss in the butter to coat.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Bake for 30 mins. Remove from the oven, stir the carrots and add the cheese.
  7. Return to the oven for about 5 mins or until fork tender and the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve warm

Alternatives for Oven Sautéed Carrots

I love substituting the salt and pepper for garlic salt. I find, garlic works well for most vegetables. You could also use a few cloves of garlic and roast them in the oven along with the carrots. I often keep compound butter, specifically garlic, in the freezer. This would be a great substitute for the plain butter in this recipe!

I used Dubliner cheese this time for my carrots, in place of parmesan, and they turned out great. I think any hard cheese should work as well.

Another great substitution is adding a little bit of honey, or even maple syrup, when they are done cooking. Toss the carrots to coat everything well. In this case I would omit the cheese.
