Crispy Parmesan Carrot Sticks

Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots (medium or large sized)
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 heaping tsp each paprika, chili powder, onion powder + Italian herb seasoning
• salt (to taste)
• 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
• Lazy Tzatziki

Method

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Use a bare baking sheet with no parchment paper.
2. Cut carrots into 3-inch pieces, then slice each in half lengthwise to create a flat side.
3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, 1/4 cup parmesan, spices, and salt to taste. Toss carrots in the mixture to coat.
4. Place the freshly grated parmesan in a shallow bowl and press the flat side of each carrot piece into it. Arrange carrots cheese-side down on the baking sheet, spaced apart, and roast 20-25 minutes until tender, adjusting time based on piece size.
