Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (920g) Carrots Peeled
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 3 tsp Herb Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

Baking in the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper for effortless cleanup.
  • Begin by halving the peeled carrots lengthwise and then slicing them into French fry-sized pieces.
  • Spread the sliced carrots on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring an even layer. Drizzle olive oil over the carrots, followed by dried thyme, smoked paprika, herb salt, and garlic powder.
  • Gently toss the carrots with spoons or your hands to ensure even coating. Spread them out again in a single layer.
  • Place the baking sheet in the middle of the preheated oven. Bake the carrot fries for 20 minutes, then flip them over. Continue baking for another 10 minutes until the fries achieve a gorgeous golden-brown hue and a tantalizing crispiness.

Cooking in the Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Follow steps 2 to 4 from the oven instructions to coat the carrot slices with seasoning.
  • Place the coated carrot fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches.
  • Air fry the carrot fries for approximately 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until they're wonderfully crispy and golden.

Other Cooking Methods:

  • - Frying: Heat oil in a pan and fry the coated carrot slices until they're golden and crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels before serving.
  • - Grilling: Grill the carrot slices on a grill pan or outdoor grill for a charred and smoky flavor.
  • Whichever cooking method you choose, you're in for a treat with these Crispy Carrot Fries.
