Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Parmesan Carrots

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and parsley.
Toss the carrot pieces in the marinade until fully coated.
