Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and wash the carrots. Slice them into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with the olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cornstarch over the carrots and toss again to create a light coating. This will help make the carrots extra crispy.

Step 5

Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Arrange the carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to promote crispiness.

Step 7

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Once out of the oven, sprinkle the roasted carrots with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
