Instructions

Creating the perfect Parmesan Roasted Carrot Fries is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.
2. Prepare the Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into stick-shaped fries, approximately ¼ inch thick.
3. Season the Carrots: In a bowl, toss the carrot fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrots. Toss gently to evenly distribute the cheese.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrot fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Roast in the Oven: Bake the carrot fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Turn them halfway through for even roasting.
7. Check Crispness: The fries should be golden brown and crispy when done; be sure to keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove them from the oven and optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These straightforward instructions guarantee that you’ll achieve fries that are both delicious and easy to make.
