Roasted Carrot Fries with Herbs
Roasted Carrot Fries with Herbs are a delicious alternative to traditional potato fries. The carrots become tender on the inside and crispy on the outside as they roast in the oven. The addition of herbs adds a fragrant and savory element to these fries, making them a tasty and healthful snack or side.
INGREDIENTS
- 4-5 large carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips (fries shape)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, toss the carrot strips with olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Make sure the carrots are evenly coated.
Spread the coated carrot strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap too much.
Roast the carrot fries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Flip the carrot fries halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Once roasted, remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve:
Enjoy the Roasted Carrot Fries with Herbs as a flavorful and nutritious side dish or snack.
Serve them with a dipping sauce like yogurt-based ranch dressing or hummus.
TIPS
You can customize the herbs and seasonings based on your preferences. Experiment with different herb combinations for unique flavors.
For added flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast over the roasted carrot fries just before serving.
