Ingredients

Scale

Carrot Fries

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cut Carrots: Slice the washed and dried carrots into fry-shaped pieces according to your preferred length and thickness, resembling traditional fries.
  3. Coat with Oil: Place the carrot fries in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the cornstarch, garlic granules, and salt over the oiled carrots. Mix thoroughly to distribute the cornstarch evenly, which helps create a crispy texture.
  5. Bake First Side: Spread the carrot fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until they start to turn golden.
  6. Flip Carrots: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each carrot fry to encourage even browning and crispness on all sides.
  7. Bake Second Side: Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the carrot fries are spread out in a single layer and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
  • You can experiment with different seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper for added flavor.
  • Make sure the carrots are dry before oiling to help the cornstarch adhere better and improve crispness.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
