Ingredients
- 2 lbs carrots (peeled and cut into 1/4 inch-thick sticks)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or air fryer to 425°F. Peel and trim carrots, then cut them into even 1/4 inch-thick sticks for uniform cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt with the parmesan cheese.
- Place the carrot sticks in a large bowl, sprinkle with cornstarch, and toss to coat. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the carrots and toss until evenly combined.
- For baking: Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 425°F, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- For air frying: Arrange the seasoned carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 12-15 minutes at 425°F, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender-crisp and golden.
