Using a vegetable peeler, shave large carrots into thin ribbons and place them in a bowl.
Sprinkle coarse salt over the carrot ribbons, then pour hot water over them. Let them sit for a few minutes to soften.
Drain the water from the carrots.
To the drained carrots, add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, tomato paste, garlic paste, maple syrup, and soy sauce.
Use your hands to thoroughly mix and coat the carrot ribbons in the glaze.
Arrange the glazed carrot ribbons in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
Store cooled carrot bacon in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; reheat briefly in a 350°F oven to restore crispness.
