Carrot Fries

If you’re getting tired of making the same old steamed broccoli or side salads for dinner, keep reading to learn how to turn plain carrots into the most delicious and fun side!

Healthy Baked Carrot Fries

Frozen fries aren't always the healthiest option, especially with the added ingredients, and most people don't slice potatoes into fries. So, if you don't want to rely on frozen fries, this Carrot Fries recipe is just the thing to serve for dinner tonight.

Carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin A, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, not to mention how great they taste. In the oven, they turn out crispy, caramelized, and oh my! SO delicious!

Best Seasonings for Carrot Fries 

You can season these carrot fries with your favorite spices and herbs for regular and sweet potato fries. Today, I added just oil and salt, but here you have other tasty ideas:

• Garlic powder: simple and delicious!
• Roasted Vegetable Seasoning: my go-to mix for seasoning baked veggies.
• Italian Seasoning: a classic blend that goes great with everything.
• Sriracha Seasoning: made with whole red chiles, it’s a favorite for the spicy team!
• Blackened Seasoning: adds a little spicy kick to these fries.

How to Make Carrot Fries in the Oven

1. Prep.
   While the oven preheats, wash, peel, and slice the carrots into thick strips.
2. Season.
   In a lined baking sheet, place the carrot sticks and season with oil and seasonings.
3. Bake at 425F.
   Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, as I’ll show you in the video below.

Can You Make Carrot Fries in the Air Fryer?

Yes, you can make carrot fries in the air fryer just like classic potato fries. Peel the carrots, cut them into strips, place them in a bowl, and season with oil and your favorite herb mix. Cook the carrots in the air fryer for about 15 minutes at 380F, flipping halfway.

Serving Carrot Fries

My favorite recipes are these mouthwatering Garlic Chicken Thighs and these baked chicken pieces for those nights when I want to let the oven in charge. That’s not all. Dipping these carrot fries in Ranch dressing? That’s a BIG yes for me!
