Crispy Carrot Fries ( A recipe! )
Oven Crisp Carrot Fries
Oven Crisp Carrot Fries are a great alternative to french fries, they are packed full of fiber, beta-carotenes, vitamin A, minerals, and anti-oxidants. These fries are very easy to prepare, and are baked instead of fried leaving no grease to clean up. This recipe is scalable based on what you have on hand, which is why you will not find any measurements. Sometimes it is better cooking to NOT be confined to specific quantities. Today, I had three carrots, so that is what I baked and it was just enough for a single serving. All of the seasonings are to taste.
Ingredients
Carrots washed with skin on
Olive Oil to toss
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic (Either fresh or powdered)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice off both ends of carrots, then cut them lengthwise into strips.
2. Coat the carrots with olive oil and seasonings. Toss to ensure an even coating of oil and seasonings.
3. Line carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet so that none are touching each other.
4. Bake for 7-10 minutes (depending on thickness) on this side. Turn over half way through cooking process and bake an additional 7-10 minutes on other side.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
