Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  4. Spread the carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, avoiding overcrowding.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Consider variations such as spiced carrot fries, sweet and savory, or herb-infused.
