Roasted Carrot Fries
Turn everyday carrots into a crisp, golden side with this easy oven-baked method. A nutritious, family-friendly alternative to traditional fries that’s perfect for dipping and weeknight meals.
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thin french-fry-like sticks
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚.
- Liberally mist a large baking sheet with oil spray. Spread out the carrots on top in a single layer, being sure to space the fries out evenly so they do not overlap (this will allow them to cook evenly and crisp up better). Liberally coat the fries with olive oil spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, until some of the edges start to crisp and brown. Ovens will vary so be sure to keep an eye on your fries starting at the 20-minute mark so they don’t burn. If you’d like to crisp them further, finish off under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to make sure they don’t become overly burnt.
