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- they'll be delicious no matter what! 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 Cut Carrots into Fries

Carrots can be hard to cut so, in this video, I show you the safest way. Wash them, peel them, and follow these steps to turn them into fries:

These carrot fries can easily be prepped ahead and kept in the fridge for a few days until you are ready to bake and serve them.

How Long to Bake Carrot Fries

You’ll bake these in a preheated 425F oven for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Can You Make Carrot Fries in the Air Fryer?

Yes, you can make carrot fries in the air fryer the same way you cook 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.
