The Best Crispy Ranch Smashed Carrots Recipe
These crispy parmesan ranch smashed potatoes are seriously the best! They get perfect crispy around the edges and roasting them brings out the sweet flavors that are balanced beautifully with savory ranch and parmesan. I can’t think of a better way to prepare carrots, for real! They honestly taste like crispy fries! You can serve these carrots as a side dish with your favorite proteins like chicken, steak, or pork chops, or serve them as a snack or appetizer with a side of ranch for dipping! If you have any picky eaters at your house, this is a great way to get them to eat their veggies!
Ingredients Needed
Baby Carrots: Baby carrots are best because they are easier to smash! Olive Oil: A bit of olive oil will help the ranch seasoning and parmesan cheese stick to these carrots. Ranch Seasoning: You can use a store-bought packet of ranch dressing, or make your own using my homemade ranch seasoning recipe! Parmesan Cheese: Grated parmesan cheese will add flavor and crisp up in the oven!
