Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and carrots. Cut the sweet potatoes, carrots, and zucchini into uniform sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a seasoning oil.
Add the vegetable sticks to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are well coated with the seasoning oil.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the coated veggies and toss them lightly to ensure a thin, even layer. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
Arrange the vegetable sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to crowd them, which would hinder crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the veggie fries with a spatula, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauces or enjoy them on their own!
