Healthy Carrot Fries

Last night I wanted something healthy, delicious, and simple but reminded me of comfort food. I found a recipe on Pinterest for carrot fries and got super excited! I had a whole bag of organic carrots I had bought on sale last week, and I needed to eat them pronto. What better way than as fries?! It's a very simple recipe, but the prep work does take some time. I won't lie. My picky 3 year old was reluctant at first, but in the end the 9 month old, 3 year old, hubby, and cook all ate them happily! Please let me know what you think in the comments below!

Sorry not the best picture ever. I took this with my phone before
they were devoured!

Healthy Carrot Fries
(Gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free, Vegan, Vegetarian)
Serves 3-4

Ingredients

• 10 large - 12 medium whole carrots
• 1 Tbs. Olive oil (or oil of choice)
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Turn oven on at 400* F.
2. One at a time, peel, chop off top end of carrot, and cut into 4 inch pieces. Throw other end away.
3. Cut each 4 inch piece into 4 long horizontal skinny pieces or 2 long skinny pieces depending on the thickness of the carrot.
4. Place all prepared carrots into a ziplock bag, pour in the tablespoon of oil, sprinkle in some salt and pepper and close bag well.
5. Move carrots around and rub all the delicious oil and seasonings as evenly as possible.
6. Spray oil onto a baking sheet, dump carrots, and move them into a single layer on the pan. 
7. Cook for 20 mins on top rack, move onto bottom rack (my lazy way of not having to flip them) for 10 minutes. Check to make sure they are done. If not ready, cook up to 10 more minutes. Mine were done at 30 minutes total, but all ovens are different. 
8. You can serve with the ketchup recipe given in the original recipe or enjoy plain or with regular ketchup. All ways were amazing!
