Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks, roughly the size of traditional fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, add the carrot sticks and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the carrots and toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy gluten-free carrot fries!
