Instructions:

  1. Preheat
    Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season
    Toss 4 large carrot sticks with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and optional 1 tbsp cornstarch for extra crispiness.
  3. Arrange
    Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
  4. Bake
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve
    Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with hummus, vegan aioli, or ketchup.

Notes:

  • Cornstarch is the secret to crispier edges — it draws out moisture and crisps up in the oven.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — a single layer with space between fries is key for crispiness.

Storage:

  • Best eaten fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and re-crisped in a hot oven or air fryer for 5 minutes.

Swaps:

  • Try smoked paprika or cumin for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne for heat.

Tips:

  • Cut carrot sticks to a uniform size so they cook evenly.
  • An air fryer works beautifully at 200°C (390°F) for 12–15 minutes.
