Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, similar in width to typical French fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot strips, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the carrots until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the carrot fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not too crowded, which helps them crisp up better.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or a healthy snack option.
