Ingredients
  

1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into fry-like shapes

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispness on your carrot fries.

    Prepare the Carrots: After peeling and cutting the carrots into fry shapes, pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This ensures they get crispy during baking.

      Make the Glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.

        Coat the Carrots: Add the carrot fries to the bowl with the glaze. Toss until the fries are evenly coated in the sweet and savory mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the glazed carrot fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.

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

              Garnish and Serve: Once the fries are tender and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve these delectable maple glazed carrot fries warm as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. Perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce!
