Ingredients
  

1 pound large carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Coat the Carrots: In another bowl, toss the cut carrot fries with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.

        Dredge the Carrots: Working in batches, take a few carrot fries and dip them into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch for optimal crispiness.

          Bake: Bake the carrot fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the carrot fries from the oven, and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
