I mentioned these Carrot Stick Fries that we ate last week with our Buffalo Wing Turkey Lettuce Wraps. I almost forgot to share the method (because it’s really more of a method than a recipe) of making them, until a reader reminded me yesterday! Thanks Crystal.
Speaking of fries, did you guys know last Wednesday was National French Fry Day? I always discover these “food holidays” after they’ve already passed. But not knowingly, we ate these carrot stick fries with dinner on National French Fry Day so consider them a tribute to the holiday….just a little late, and a little non-traditional.
Carrot Stick Fries
Ingredients
3 large whole carrots, rinsed and peeled
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425.
After you’ve rinsed and peeled your carrots, slice them in half (horizontally). Then slice each piece in half again lengthwise. For thinner fries, you can slice again lengthwise.
Toss carrot sticks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay carrots in a single layer on the parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Oh my gosh – how fun are these!! What a creative way to serve carrots!
This looks like a nice twist to yam fries and I am going to try them. Thanks!
i am always trying to find easy ways to jazz up veggies… this is a great idea! they look perfect.
these are so moist, flavorful and totally scrumptious! My boyfriend loves them! he hates regular fries, they tend to be too dry for his liking, so these are totally up his alley!, thank-you for sharing the method:)
These are a great idea! I’m sure we’ll be trying them soon!
