Ingredients
- 6 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into thin, even sticks, approximately the size of traditional fries.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Add the carrot sticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping the carrot fries halfway through the cooking time. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately for best texture, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
