Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 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 (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Carrots: Cut the washed and dried carrots into sticks resembling fries, choosing the length and thickness according to your preference.
  3. Coat with Oil: Place the carrot sticks in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Season and Coat: Sprinkle the cornstarch, garlic granules, and salt over the oily carrots. Mix well so the cornstarch evenly distributes, which helps create a crispy exterior during baking.
  5. Bake Initial Side: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly golden.
  6. Flip and Bake Again: Carefully remove the baking sheet, flip the carrot fries to ensure even crisping, then return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes until the carrots are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the carrot fries to your liking, thinner fries will crisp up faster while thicker fries will be softer inside.
  • For extra flavor, try adding smoked paprika, chili powder, or fresh herbs before baking.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispiness; leftover carrot fries may become soft.
  • If you prefer, use sweet potatoes or parsnips in place of carrots for a different twist.
