Baked Carrot Fries (Paleo & Vegan)

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound carrots (about 10-12 medium carrots)
  • 1 1/2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp thyme


Directions:

  • Turn the oven to 400 degrees. Start by washing the carrots and peeling them (Peeling them is optional. I use organic carrots and don't peel them and they turn out fine). Cut the carrots into even sticks that are roughly 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Put the cut carrots into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, herbs, and spices.
  • Place the carrots on a cookie sheet 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 half-way 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 edge, they are done. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
