Ingredients
  

1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced into fry shapes

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

½ teaspoon of smoked paprika

½ teaspoon of sea salt

¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To simplify cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced carrot fries. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss gently to ensure each piece is fully coated.

      Add Flavor: Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper over the carrots. Then, pour the maple syrup on top and toss again until all the carrot fries are generously coated in the seasoning and syrup mix.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the coated carrot fries to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer without overlapping, to allow for even cooking and crispiness.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, flip the carrot fries to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden caramelization.

            Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool for about two minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: These delectable Maple Glazed Carrot Fries are perfect served warm as a delightful side dish or a nutritious snack. Enjoy!
