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.
