Ingredients
Scale
Carrot Fries:
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into thin fry-shaped strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning:
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the carrots: In a large bowl, toss the carrot fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the carrots and toss again to coat.
- Bake: Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are tender and golden brown.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat or swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
