3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Carrots: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

      Add Flavor: Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the carrots. Pour in the maple syrup and toss everything together until the carrot fries are well coated.
