Parmesan Carrot Sticks

Ingredients

• 400 g Carrots (Long and narrow, peeled)
• 23 ml Extra-virgin olive oil (20 ml for seasoning plus 3 ml to drizzle at the end)
• Sweet paprika, pepper, garlic, and chili flakes (To taste)
• 2 g Salt
• Water (A splash)
• 50 g Grated Parmesan

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the convection oven to 200 °C and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Cut each carrot in half lengthwise, then divide each half into four, yielding 8 sticks per carrot.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix the 20 ml of extra-virgin olive oil, sweet paprika, pepper, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and a splash of water.

4. 4

   Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them with your hands, distributing the seasoning evenly over the entire surface.

5. 5

   Coat each stick in the grated Parmesan, covering it as evenly as possible.

6. 6

   Arrange the sticks separately on the parchment paper without overlapping them so they can become crispy.
