Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips, similar in size to classic French fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all the carrot pieces are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the seasoned carrots and toss again until evenly covered. The cornstarch helps to achieve a crispy texture.
Spread the carrot fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the fries halfway through baking, until they are golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Serve the carrot fries warm as a nutritious snack or side dish. Enjoy with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce if desired.
