Ingredients
  

1 lb (about 450g) medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Carrots: After peeling the carrots, slice them into uniform fry shapes (about 1/4 inch thick). This will ensure even cooking.

      Season the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the carrot fries, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.

        Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the carrot fries and toss again to ensure a good distribution of cheese.

          Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrot fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast rather than steam.

            Roast the Carrots: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and crispy at the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and add freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve these delicious Parmesan roasted carrot fries as a snack, side dish, or appetizer!
