Ingredients

1 pound carrots scrubbed but not peeled
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kohser salt

Directions

Turn the oven on to 400 degrees F. Wash hands with soap and warm water, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds. Rinse carrots under cool running water and scrub with a clean vegetable brush to remove any dirt before chopping. Put the carrots on the cutting board and cut them into thirds. Cut the thinnest end into 2 spears. Cut the two thicker parts into 4 spears each so you get about 10 carrot fries from each carrot. Place the spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt. With clean hands, rub the carrot pieces until they’re lightly coated with oil. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake until carrots are browned and crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes. Serve right away. Refrigerate leftovers.
