Ingredients
  

4 large carrots (preferably rainbow carrots for a colorful presentation)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully slice the carrots lengthwise into thin ribbons. If the carrots are particularly thick, you may need to cut them in half lengthwise before peeling to get wider ribbons.

      Season the Carrot Ribbons: In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot ribbons, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss well to ensure all ribbons are evenly coated with the seasoning.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned carrot ribbons in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlap as much as possible to allow them to roast evenly.

          Roast the Carrots: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the ribbons are tender. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even browning.

            Add Parmesan: Once the carrots are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot carrot ribbons. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest for a burst of freshness. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a unique appetizer.
