Description
Make crispy, savory carrot fries baked in the oven with a cheesy Parmesan coating. This recipe offers a healthy alternative to potato fries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into fry shapes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut carrots with olive oil until lightly coated.
- In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the oiled carrots in the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres to all sides.
- Arrange the coated carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overcrowd the pans.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time. The fries are done when they are tender inside and the coating is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness in an air fryer, cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
- If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast to the coating mix.
- Serve these fries with a simple Greek yogurt dip mixed with dill and lemon juice.
