Crispy Roasted Carrot Sticks
These Crispy Roasted Carrot Sticks are a delicious and healthy side dish, coated in parmesan and flavorful seasoning for a perfect golden crisp!
Ingredients
- 14 oz pre-cut carrot sticks well-drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced and mixed with sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the carrot sticks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with sea salt and mash into a paste. Stir in olive oil, parsley, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
- Toss the carrot sticks in the seasoned oil mixture until well-coated.
- Add the grated parmesan and garlic powder to the carrots, tossing them again to coat evenly with the cheese and spices.
- Spread the carrot sticks in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for proper crisping.
- Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, flip the carrots, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they become crispy and golden.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce—options like Greek yogurt with lemon or classic ketchup work great!
