Carrot Fries

By MaryEllen

French fries are my guilty pleasure. While I do indulge once in a while, these tasty little treats are so much healthier and completely guilt free. Serve them up with a dip or alone. I promise they are awesome!

Ingredients

• 1 pound of carrots, washed with skins on
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut ends off of carrots and cut into thin strips.
Place carrots in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss until coated.
Place carrots in a single layer on baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn carrots over at about 10 minutes into baking.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh mint.
