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 the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Carrots: Cut the carrots into sticks resembling fries, adjusting length and thickness to your preference for cooking time and texture.
  3. Coat Carrots with Oil: Place the carrot sticks in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss well so each piece is evenly coated with oil, which helps in crisping during baking.
  4. Add Seasonings and Cornstarch: Sprinkle the cornstarch, garlic granules, and salt over the carrots. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the cornstarch which aids in creating a crispy coating.
  5. Bake First Side: Spread the coated carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they start to turn golden and begin crisping.
  6. Flip and Bake Again: Carefully remove the baking sheet, flip the carrot fries to promote even cooking and crispiness on all sides, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy to your liking.

Notes

  • Cut carrots uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • You can add other seasonings like paprika or black pepper for additional flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • If you prefer extra crispy fries, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
