Scale
- 6 large carrots, peeled and cut into fry-like sticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss carrot sticks with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp on the edges.

Notes
- Cut carrots evenly for consistent cooking.

- For crispier texture, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
