Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each carrot in half and then cut each piece lengthwise in half. Thinner sticks will result in crispy carrot fries than thicker sticks.
Place carrots in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. (If using dried parsley, add this as well. Fresh parsley will be added at the end.) Sprinkle arrowroot starch over mixture and toss again until evenly incorporated. Add parsley and toss again.
Transfer carrots to prepared baking sheet. Spread carrots in even layer, so that they are not touching. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through baking, until tender and crisp at ends. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Place the coated carrot sticks in an even layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches.) Bake for 8-10 minutes. For a crispier fry, bake for another 1-2 minutes.
