* 4 large carrots, peeled
* Olive oil
* Kosher salt and black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Cut the carrots into 2-3 chunks. Cut those chunks lengthwise into quarters (or even eighths if the carrot is particularly large).
Place the carrots on a cookie sheet. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven and bake, tossing about half way through, until the edges of the carrots start to caramelize, about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to make sure they don’t burn.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a pepper towel lined plate.
Cook’s note: We LOVE these fries! Baking carrots in the oven really intensifies their sweetness. Try them with cinnamon sugar dusted over them! Yum. Make sure to let them cool a bit before serving because they tend to get a tad crispier that way. Enjoy!
