Carrots are not only known for their vibrant orange color but also for their rich nutritional profile. They are an excellent source of vitamins, particularly vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining good vision and a healthy immune system. Carrots are also high in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals in the body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, they are low in calories and high in fiber, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to maintain a healthy diet. When roasted, the natural sugars in carrots caramelize, enhancing their sweetness and creating a satisfying snack.

Ingredients
  

1 pound of medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: After peeling, slice the carrots into long, thin fry shapes for even roasting.

      Seasoning Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

        Coat the Carrots: Add the carrot fries to the bowl and toss thoroughly in the seasoning mix, ensuring they are evenly coated.

          Parmesan Addition: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrot fries and toss again until they are coated evenly.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated carrot fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast evenly.

              Roasting: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

                Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
