I thought I'd try something new tonight. I had been looking for recipes last week to use some of the carrots that I had on hand, and this one caught my eye. I started with a recipe from www.vegweb.com. You can find it here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15346.0. I didn't have everything listed in the recipe, so I winged it.
I peeled and cut the carrots using a Pampered Chef tool that I never get to use to make them crinkly. I tried to cut the pieces fairly thin so that they would cook. Put them on the baking sheet and sprayed them with olive oil. I sprinkled them with a spice mix that I made in an empty spice jar. I used some paprika, garlic salt, parsley and oregano. Popped them in the oven and let them bake.
I did not take a picture, but I thought they looked pretty good!
The verdict:
I really thought the kids would like these, especially since they are like regular fries. They did not. On the other hand, I really liked them and I will make them again for me. I'll try them out on my hubby when he gets home tonight.
Verdict is in. Hubby likes the carrot fries! I guess this is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteyay! Well at least some people liked them. They sound tasty!
ReplyDelete:) My kids are a little picky with new foods. I was just happy they tried them. I'll definitely keep the recipe because I liked them. Perhaps they might try it again.
