Ingredients
- 6 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them into even-sized sticks, roughly 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches long.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil until they are well-coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the carrots and toss until evenly coated. The cornstarch will help achieve the desired crispy texture.
Step 6
Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded for even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrot fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them as a nutritious snack.
