Heat your oven to 375°F and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment or giving it a light coat of oil.
In a mixing bowl, add the grated carrot, egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Mix until the ingredients come together into a slightly sticky blend.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and gently shape it into small tot-style bites, pressing out any extra moisture so they stay intact while baking.
Place the tots evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes, then enjoy on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, BBQ sauce, or ranch.
