Ingredients

4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

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

In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.

Take each carrot stick and dip it first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.

Place the coated carrot sticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.

Drizzle the olive oil over the coated carrot sticks for added crispiness.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrot sticks are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Allow the carrot sticks to cool slightly before serving.
