📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray.
2
Using a vegetable peeler, shave off 15 to 20 long strips of carrot (strips get wider as you peel into the middle of the carrot). 1-inch wide strips work best.
3
In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar and bring to a boil. Add carrot strips, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer ⏱️ 15 minutes. Drain well and cool ⏱️ 5 minutes.

4
Arrange carrot strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping. Bake until the carrot strips begin to look translucent and have dried out, about ⏱️ 30 minutes.
5
While the carrot strips are still warm and pliable, wrap each strip around the handle of a wooden spoon to form a curl. Gently slide off handle and sprinkle with sugar. Let sit at room temperature until completely dry, about ⏱️ 30 minutes.
