Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound carrots Peeled and cut into uniform fry shapes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds a rich flavor
  • 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch Creates a crispy exterior
  • 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika Provides a smoky depth
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Adds warmth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Introduces subtle onion flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Offers a bit of heat
  • Fresh parsley Optional, for garnish
  • Preferred sauce For dipping, such as ranch or spicy mayo

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Start by peeling the carrots and slicing them into uniform fry shapes, aiming for about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot fries with olive oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Spread the seasoned carrot fries in a single layer on the sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden, about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

  • Ensure the fries are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
