You will need:
- About 10-12 carrots
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan or sea salt
- 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
- ½ tablespoon dried rosemary and thyme
How to prepare:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Peel and cut the carrots into fries. Transfer to a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes (don’t overdo it, you just want them to be cooked through, not a mushy mess!)
- Drain the water. Add the coconut oil, salt, garlic and herbs and stir until coated. If they get a little crushed on the edges, don’t worry. This will make them more crispy once we bake them. You can even cover the pot and shake it do achieve this result.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the fries on a single layer so none are overlapping . Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway.
- Remove from the oven when the edges are golden and crispy.
