Baked Carrot Fries
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound carrots (about 10-12 medium carrots)
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil (get real olive oil here)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp thyme
DIRECTIONS
- Turn the oven to 400°. Start by washing the carrots and peeling them (peeling is optional. I use organic carrots and don't peel them and they turn out fine). Cut the carrots into even sticks that are roughly 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick.
- Put the cut carrots into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Then sprinkle the salt, pepper, herbs and spices on top. Stir the carrots to evenly coat with the oil and spices.
- Place the carrots on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the carrots are evenly spread and not stacked on top of each other.
- Put the carrots in the oven and bake for about 25-35 minutes, checking halfway through to move the carrots around or flip them on the sheet to get even cooking.
- Once you can pierce the carrots easily with a fork and there is a slight browning/crisping on the edges, they are done. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
