Baked Carrot Fries
Ingredients
- 10-12 medium carrots
- 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- optional: 1 tsp nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavour
Preparation
Turn the oven to 200°c
Start by washing the carrots and peeling them (peeling is optional
If you use organic carrots then peeling is not necessary)
Cut the carrots into even sticks that are roughly 5 cm long and 1cm thick
Put the cut carrots into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil
Then sprinkle the salt, pepper, herbs and spices on top
Stir the carrots to evenly coat with the oil and spices
Place the carrots on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
Make sure the carrots are evenly spread and not stacked on top of each other
Put the carrots in the oven and bake for about 25-35 minutes, checking halfway through to move the carrots around or flip them on the sheet to get even cooking
Once you can pierce the carrots easily with a fork and there is a slight browning/crisping on the edges, they are done
Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes
Test these out and let me know how you go
I know i'm a fan! you can repeat the same procedure with parsnips too ?
