Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Trim the ends off the carrots and halve crosswise. Halve the carrots lengthwise, then cut lengthwise again in half or thirds, depending on the size, to create equal-size sticks.
In a mixing bowl, toss together the carrots, olive oil, pepper, garlic powder, salt and thyme. Transfer to a baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Bake, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are cooked through and the edges begin to crisp, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the ketchup and ranch in a small bowl. Serve the carrot fries with the ketchupy ranch.
