carrot fries



Last night I successfully accomplished giving carrots a new meaning. Well, a new meaning in my book, that is. Say "see ya" to sweet potato fries and "HELLO!" to carrot fries.

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods in the world. You cannot eff-up a sweet potato. But carrots? You can eff up. Not with this recipe. Give it a shot. Give it to your kids. Give it to your grandparents, parents, enemies (nah! not them!) and friends.

A tasty & healthy way to enjoy 'fries' without feeling fried yourself.

What You Will Need:
-Five large fresh carrots
-2 tbsp olive oil
-Salt & Pepper
-1 tsp cumin
-1 tsp chilli powder
-1 tsp parsley

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Once the carrots are cleaned and peeled, slice them up into slivers (think of the shape/size of french fries. )
3. Toss the raw carrot fries in a medium sized mixing bowl with olive oil & the dry ingredients.
4. Once the carrots are coated evenly with the ingredients.
5. Lay the carrots out on a parchment paper (sprayed with PAM or some sort of a non-stick spray/oil) lined baking sheet.
6. Quickly drizzle the carrots with a bit of olive oil & bake until crispy (about 20 minutes)

7. Enjoy!

  1. These look amazing! I look forward to trying them once the weather cools down (can't bring myself to turn on the oven lately).
