Ingredients
  

1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the cut carrot fries with olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated.

      Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

        Combine: Pour the maple glaze over the oiled carrot fries and toss to thoroughly coat each fry in the mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrot fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for even cooking.

            Bake: Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added burst of color and flavor. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
