# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
Toss your carrot sticks in a big bowl with the avocado oil, sweet paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, thyme and arrowroot powder until they're evenly coated with all that goodness.
03 -
Spread the seasoned carrots between your two baking sheets, making sure to give them some breathing room so they can get properly crispy instead of steaming.
04 -
Pop them in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and cook another 5-10 minutes until they're tender when pierced with a fork but deliciously crispy on the outside.
05 -
While your fries are baking, stir together all the aioli ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Give it a taste and add more salt or spice if needed.
06 -
Sprinkle the hot carrot fries with some fresh thyme leaves and a little flakey sea salt for that restaurant-quality finish. Serve them up with your homemade paprika garlic aioli for dipping.
