So if you are spending more time in the house lately like me you know that it is a perfect opportunity to try new recipes. I must say whenever I post about another new recipe you all respond very positivity. What can I say? We all enjoy a little comfort food. And although I can attest I am no size 4, I do care about my health and finding healthy low carb low sugar options when I cook. Hence today’s easy recipe I’ll share with you.
While perusing the world of You Tube I happened to come across a video post with low card recipes. One of which included different ways to make french fries with different vegetables. I’m not a fan of asparagus or eggplant however I do like carrots. Yes you read that right!
How do you make tasty low carb french fries? You do it with carrots! No kidding. I tried this recipe on a whim with a bag or organic carrots I had forgotten about in the refrigerator and gave it a try.
Here is everything you will need to make these flavorful tasty low carb french fries.
How to make Tasty Low Carb French fries
Tools:
Baking sheet
Foil paper
Non stick spray
Cutting knife and Spoon
Cutting board
Large bowl
Peeler (optional)
Ingredients:
1 bag Carrots
1 tsp. Ms. Dash Seasoning
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Paprika
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
Instructions:
- Open your bag of carrots and wash/rinse thoroughly.
- Using your cutting board and cutting knife, cut the ends off the carrots.
- (Optional) You can use a peeler to remove some of the outside skin of the carrot you don’t care to eat.
- Then proceed to cut the carrots length wise in half. Then cut those halves again length wise into french fry length strips. (Approximately 3-4 inches in length. Ideally the size thickness would be slightly less than your pinky finger.)
- Place all your freshly cut carrots into a large bowl. Add the olive oil and seasonings to taste.
- Using a spoon (or your freshly washed hands) toss and mix the carrots and seasonings together in the bowl.
- Next, get your baking sheet and place foil at the bottom. Spray non stick spray on the foil.
- Transfer your carrots to the baking sheet, lining the carrots up neatly side by side so none are on top of each other.
- Turn on your oven. Heat at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.
- Take the carrot fries out and they are ready to serve. Be careful they are hot but oh so tasty!
