Transform ordinary carrots into a delightful, crispy snack with this easy Curly Carrot Fries recipe. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a healthy, flavorful treat that's perfect for munching on its own or enjoying as a side dish. Packed with the earthy aroma of rosemary and a hint of seasoning, these curly fries offer a unique twist on traditional carrot sticks.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly.
- Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, cut the carrots into curly fry shapes. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also cut the carrots into thin strips using a sharp knife.
- Place the curly carrot pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
- Toss everything together until the carrots are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Spread the seasoned carrot fries out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping, as this helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrot fries are crispy and golden brown. You may need to toss them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Serve them warm as a healthy side dish or snack. They pair well with a variety of dips, such as ketchup, aioli, or a yogurt-based dip.
Tips:
- Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create evenly-sized curly carrots, ensuring they cook uniformly.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) for perfectly crispy fries.
- Toss the carrot spirals evenly with rosemary, salt, and black pepper to ensure each fry is well-seasoned.
- Arrange the carrot fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the fries during the last few minutes of baking to prevent them from burning.
- Serve immediately for the best freshness and crunchiness.
Curly Carrot Fries are an excellent way to enjoy a nutritious snack while indulging in a crunchy, tasty treat. With minimal ingredients and effort, you can whip up these fries for any occasion. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste and texture.
