Crispy Carrot Fries
Crispy Carrot Fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fries, made with fresh carrots and baked to perfection.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots peeled and cut into uniform fry shape
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish (optional)
- sauce of choice for dipping (ketchup, ranch, pesto, or spicy mayo recommended)
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the carrots. Cut them in half (or into thirds) lengthwise, and then cut into a fry shape. These should be thicker than a julienne cut – if they’re too small, they’ll burn more easily. Try to keep the carrots to a similar size so that they cut uniformly.
- In a large bowl, add the olive oil, parmesan, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add in the carrots and toss to coat, until all carrots are well coated.
- Spread the carrots evenly on the lined baking sheet, making sure to arrange them in a single layer to allow them to get crispy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway. All ovens are slightly different – you may want to keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking time to ensure they don’t burn.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
For best results, ensure carrots are cut evenly to promote uniform cooking and crispness.
