Description

Prepared in just 30 minutes, these sweet and spicy baked carrot fries are full of flavor thanks to maple syrup and spices.

Ingredients

1 pound carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch curry powder
1 pinch hot paprika

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
2 Spread carrots on the prepared baking sheet; toss with enough olive oil to coat. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with salt, cayenne, curry powder, and paprika. Toss everything together and spread out evenly.
3 Roast in the preheated oven, tossing a few times while they bake, until tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
