“Golden rays of flavor: Sunburst Carrot Fries – the brightest addition to your plate!”
Ingredients:
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips (like fries) / cubes depending upon your preferences
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, toss the carrot strips with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the carrots. Toss again until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Arrange the seasoned carrot strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This allows them to crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the carrot fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the carrot fries for added flavor before serving.
- Enjoy your sunburst carrot fries as a healthy snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce!
These carrot fries are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a great alternative to regular fries. Enjoy!
