Crispy Carrot Fries

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb carrots peeled and cut into uniform fry shape (see notes)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt
• Pepper
• parsley for garnish, optional
• sauce of choice for dipping, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Peel the carrots. Cut them in half (or into thirds) lengthwise, and then cut into a fry shape. These should be thicker than a julienne cut - if they’re too small, they’ll burn more easily. Try to keep the carrots to a similar size so that they cut uniformly.
3. 3 In a large bowl, add the olive oil, parmesan, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. 4 Add in the carrots and toss to coat, until all carrots are well coated.
5. 5 Spread the carrots evenly on the lined baking sheet, making sure to arrange them in a single layer to allow them to get crispy.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway. All ovens are slightly different - you may want to keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking time to ensure they don’t burn.
7. 7 Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with dipping sauce of choice (ketchup, ranch, pesto, or spicy mayo are recommended!).
