Cumin Dusted Carrot Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl, add carrots and top with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper if using. Toss until spices are well-distributed.
• Pour carrots onto baking sheet (I line mine with a Sil-pat, but it's also fine without) and bake until carrots are tender and beginning to brown on one or two sides, about 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Cut carrots into fries and combine in a large bowl with olive oil, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Prepare dip while fries are baking. Combine all dip ingredients in a small bowl and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200˚C).
• Slice the top and bottom off of carrots then slice them in half, slice each half into thirds lengthwise.
• In a large bowl, mix ingredients with carrot sticks.
• Spread on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on how crispy you want them).
• Mix together ingredients for dipping sauce in a small bowl.
• Serve warm carrots with dipping sauce. Topped with Parmesan and parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F, or a grill to high (if you are outside, prepare a campfire). Cut any large carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise.
• Drizzle a large sheet of foil with some oil. Arrange the carrots in a flat, single layer over half the sheet of foil. Drizzle the carrots with more oil and sprinkle with the garlic, cumin and salt and pepper. Top the carrots with the butter and drizzle with the honey. Fold the foil in half over the carrots and fold the edges to seal and form a pouch. To avoid crowding the carrots, make two pouches if necessary.
• Cook the pouch in the oven or on a grill or campfire for 15 minutes. To serve, cut open the pouch tableside and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil, then divide the fries between them. Bake, tossing once or twice, until crisp and golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Place the chiles in a bowl, cover with a plate and shake to release the seeds. Fish out the chiles, leaving the seeds behind.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, peppercorns, chopped chiles and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the scallions and remove from the heat.
• Toss the fries with the spiced oil and season with salt. Remove and discard any large chile pieces.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a shallow pan with foil.
• Using a sharp knife, slice away the tip and end of each carrot; peel each completely.
• Cut carrots in half crosswise, then cut lengthwise, then cut lengthwise again.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks, olive oil, rosemary, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir until all are evenly coated.
• Place carrots in pan, spreading sticks out as much as possible. Bake for 20 minutes or until carrots are tender.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and crosswise. If the carrots are fat at one end, cut the fat half in half again lengthwise, so that the pieces are more or less equal in thickness. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper, and thyme leaves.
• Heat a heavy baking sheet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the carrots on it in one layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the carrots every 10 minutes. They should be slightly caramelized and tender.
• While the carrots are in the oven place the cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind. Add the soft butter, turmeric and Aleppo pepper or chili powder and stir with the pestle until well amalgamated. Transfer to a large pan.
• Remove the carrots from the oven when done and add to the pan with the spice butter and the mint. Toss together, taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve from the pan or transfer to a platter.
