Carrot Fries Ingredients
- 1 pound of carrots (washed and dried)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- A few shakes of garlic granules
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. This ensures the fries do not stick and helps with easy cleanup.
- Cut Carrots: Cut the carrots into the length and thickness of your choice to resemble traditional fries. Uniform sizing helps in even cooking.
- Coat with Oil: Place the cut carrots in a large bowl and add the olive oil. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated, which helps with crisping during baking.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the cornstarch, garlic granules, and salt over the carrots. Mix thoroughly so the cornstarch is evenly distributed, adding a crispy texture.
- First Bake: Spread the carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until they start to become tender and lightly browned.
- Flip and Bake Again: Carefully remove the tray, flip the fries to ensure all sides crisp up evenly, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Make sure the carrots are dry before tossing with oil to help the coating stick better.
- Cut carrots into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- If you want extra crispiness, increase baking time slightly but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
- You can experiment with additional spices like smoked paprika or cumin for varied flavors.
