These Crispy Carrot Fries are baked in the oven and topped with parmesan and parsley. Served with a trio of dipping sauces, these carrot french fries are an easy, healthy, and delicious vegetarian appetizer or side dish.
Peel your carrots and parsnips and slice them into strips. Try to make your fries as evenly as possible as this will help them all cook the same way – there’s nothing worse than having half your tray burnt or undercooked because your slices were too varied!
Place the carrots and parsnips in a ziplock bag with the cornstarch. Seal the bag and shake well to mix, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Empty your bag into a bowl, taking care to shake off any extra cornstarch that may be on your fries. Mix the fries with the olive oil, salt and pepper and place onto a baking tray.
Sprinkle parmesan over the fries and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Flip fries and bake another 5-10 minutes, keeping a careful eye on them so they don’t burn. (Note: your cooking time may vary depending on how thinly or thickly you cut your fries.)
Top fries with chopped parsley and an additional sprinkle of parmesan, if desired.
Serve with a sauce of your choice! We love these fries with ketchup and sriracha, sriracha mayo, and garlic mayo (all shown above).
