Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into sticks about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long to resemble traditional fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks with olive oil. Toss to coat the carrots evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the carrots, and toss again until the carrots are well coated.
Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delightful snack or side dish.
