Crispy Baked Carrot Fries (Air Fryer Option)
These healthy baked carrot fries are sweet, tasty, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. They are a delicious side dish that is ready in 30 minutes, and can be made in the air fryer!
Ingredients
- 450 g Carrots
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 230c (450f) and prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Peel the carrots and cut off the stems and cut them into thin but not too thin fries.
- Pat them dry with paper towels until they are dry. This will help to make them crispy so don't skip this step!
- Add the carrots to a large mixing bowl along with the garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, dried thyme, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Spread the fries on the prepared parchment paper lined baking sheet evenly and bake in a preheated 230c (450f) oven for 15 minutes. Then use a spatula to flip the fries to make sure they bake evenly.
- Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the fries are crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on the fries so they won't burn!
Notes
- Ensure that you cut your carrots into even pieces so they will bake evenly. Make sure that every piece of carrot is about the same thickness and length.
- Dip these in your favorite dressing like ketchup, mayonnaise, boom boom sauce, bang bang sauce, ranch, etc.
- Make sure to dry out the carrots with paper towels or a towel to make them crispy.
- I highly suggest not overcrowding the sheet pan, cook it in batches if needed to make them cook properly.
- Serve these immediately when they are hot and crispy for the best experience!
- Do not cut these too thinly! The carrot fries shrink while they bake, so it is important that you do not cut them too thinly but also not too thick.
