Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and sweet potatoes. Trim the ends of the zucchini. Cut all vegetables into fries, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut vegetables into a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil. Toss until all fries are well-coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss again to evenly coat all pieces.
Arrange the seasoned veggie fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each fry to ensure crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip the fries using a spatula.
Return the fries to the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
