Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thoroughly wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into thin, even sticks, approximately the size of traditional fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping the carrot fries halfway through the cooking time. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately for best texture, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
