Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (can use panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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 breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.

      In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.

        Dip each carrot stick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

          Roll the egg-coated carrot sticks in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.

            Arrange the coated carrot sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the sticks for added crispness.

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

                Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
