Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and wash the carrots. Slice them into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with the olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the carrots and toss again to create a light coating. This will help make the carrots extra crispy.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Arrange the carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to promote crispiness.
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.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the roasted carrots with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
