Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin, uniform sticks about 3-4 inches long to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ground paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix well to create a flavorful coating.
Step 4
Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss until all sticks are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded to allow proper roasting.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the sticks halfway through for even browning. The carrot sticks should be slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Step 7
Remove the carrot sticks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before packing them into lunch boxes or serving immediately.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy them cold or lightly reheated!
