Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips, resembling the size and shape of traditional fries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning paste.
Spread the coated carrot fries out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami flavor.
Serve immediately while hot, with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
