Ingredients
- 5 pieces large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin, even sticks, approximately 1/4-inch thick to ensure even baking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks with the olive oil until they are well coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the oiled carrots and toss them together until the carrot sticks are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Arrange the carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to ensure crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries to the other side.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12-13 minutes, or until the carrot fries are crisp and golden brown.
Step 9
Let the carrot fries cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to crisp up further.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a snack or side with your favorite dip.
