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

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Scrub carrots under running water before preparing.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  4. Cut carrots to ½ x 3 to 4-inch long pieces and place in a large bowl.
  5. Mix spices together in a small bowl. Pour spice mix over carrots and stir to cover. Add oil and stir well.  
  6. Pour carrot pieces onto the baking sheet. Move pieces around so they do not touch.
  7. 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.
  8. 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. 

Comments

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!
