Ingredients

1 pound about 6-7 medium carrots, peeled and cut into approx. 4-inch x 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (plus more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

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.

Ingredients

Non-stick cooking spray
1-1/2 pounds carrots
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chopped fresh herbs for serving (cilantro, parsley or chives)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel the carrots and trim the ends. Slice the carrots into batons that are 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
In a large bowl combine the cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil.
Add the fries to the bowl tossing to coat with the spice-olive oil mixture.
Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the sheet pan making sure they are not overlapping.
Roast the carrots for 22-30 minutes, flipping halfway through baking. The fries should be browned and crisp at the edges.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
