minutesIngredients
1 pound of fresh carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/2 heaping teaspoon of paprika
1/2 heaping teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 heaping teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 heaping teaspoon of your favorite Italian seasoning
Dash of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice your carrots into pieces/sections about 3 inches or so long. Then cut those in half so there’s a flat side to each piece.
- In a bowl, mix together your olive oil, garlic, only 1/4 cup of your parmesan cheese, all your spices, and salt. Once combined, throw in those carrots and toss them around, coating them all.
- Put your remaining parmesan cheese in a separate little bowl or dish. Dip the flat side of your carrots into that parmesan. Put each carrot, with the cheese down, onto your baking sheet. Space them out a little bit.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the carrot fries are tender. Time may vary depending on the size of your carrot slices.
- Serve and enjoy! Really delicious with tzatziki sauce, ranch, whatever little dip you’d like!
