Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Carrots
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots and sweet potatoes. Trim the ends of the zucchini.
Cut the carrots, zucchini, and sweet potatoes into even-sized sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long, to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss until evenly coated. This will help make the fries extra crispy.
Spray the veggies lightly but evenly with olive oil cooking spray, tossing them gently to make sure they are coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove trays, flip the fries with a spatula, and return them to the oven, switching the tray positions to ensure even cooking.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
