Baked Carrot Fries
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds carrots, trimmed and peeled if desired
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika (try smoked)
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Scrub carrots under running water before preparing.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- Cut carrots to ½ x 3 to 4-inch long pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Mix spices together in a small bowl. Pour spice mix over carrots and stir to cover. Add oil and stir well.
- Pour carrot pieces onto the baking sheet. Move pieces around so they do not touch.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, then stir carrots to turn them. Bake 7 to 10 minutes longer, or until browned on the edges and tender in the center.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Try other seasoning mixes. Add about 2 teaspoons of any mix you like, such as Food Hero Taco Seasoning, Soulful Seasoning or Harissa Spice Mix.
- Try this simple tahini dipping sauce: mix together ¼ cup tahini, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper and 2 to 3 Tablespoons of water. Mix together until smooth. Add more water, if needed, for the dipping thickness you like.

I really like the flavor of this recipe! Next time I might leave them in the oven a bit longer to get more crispy. I also cut them pretty thin which made it hard to dip, so I think it's good to try this recipe a few times to figure out what you like. Overall a great recipe!
