Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Carrots
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots and sweet potatoes. Leave the zucchini unpeeled but wash thoroughly.
Cut all the vegetables into even matchstick-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt.
Add the vegetables to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the vegetables and toss again. This will help make the fries crispier during baking.
Arrange the vegetable sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through baking to ensure even crisping.
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the fries in the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
Remove from the oven once the fries are golden and crisp. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces!
