Parmesan Roasted Carrot Fries

Parmesan Roasted Carrot Fries

Sweet roasted carrot fries covered with crispy parmesan cheese!

Easter is coming up and that has got me thinking about carrots and these parmesan roasted carrot fries are a great way to enjoy carrots! Potato ‘french’ fries are a staple pretty much everywhere, and with good reason, with that crispy outside and silky smooth inside, they are simply irresistible! Sweet potato fries are becoming more popular these days and carrot fries are just as good! Carrots are pretty easy to turn into fries, you just need to get some large ones, peel them and slice them into sticks before frying them! Of course you can deep fry them, and they are amazing deep fried, but you can also roast them, which keeps them a little lighter. When I roast carrot fries I like to season them with salt and pepper and hit of parmesan cheese adds a huge amount of flavour! In addition to just tasting amazing, the parmesan also melts onto the carrot fries and caramelizes getting all nice and crispy and good making the fries even crispier! Carrots are sweet so I like to serve them with a spicy dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or a gochujang ketchup and they are the perfect side for pretty much any meal, especially an Easter dinner!

Sweet roasted carrot fries covered with crispy parmesan cheese!

ingredients
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 in thick ‘fries’
  • 1 tablespoon oil

directions
  1. Gently toss the carrot fries in the oil, salt and pepper, sprinkle on the cheese and mix to coat before spreading on them in a single layer on a silicon mat or parchment paper lined baking sheet.

    I made a slight variation of these (added oregano, garlic powder and chili flakes), and they are legitimately the best carrots I've ever had. I could just eat a pan of these for dinner. Highly recommend!

        The cheese is vegetarian as it does not contain MEAT. However, it is not vegan.

          It’s not either in this case. Parmesan is one of the cheese that vegetarians cannot eat because it contains animal rennet.

      Vegatarians can eat dairy products and eggs. Vegans don’t eat any meat or animal by products. This recipe is what it says it is, a yummy vegatarian side. I’m excited to take it to my family’s Christmas Eve party. I’ve been trying to eat a more vegatarian Monday-Friday. My grandpa was a dairy Farmer and I married a dairy Farmer. I just can’t see my self giving it up all together. Cut back? Sure. Just hits too close to home.

        I agree 100%. If you don’t like something in a recipe then go to another site an ideal which we hold dear. Vegan not vegan vegetarian not vegetarian animal by-products. It’s just silly. Just move on to another site.

      No, cheese does not always contain animal renin. Cheese without is just as nice, and it’s getting a lot easier to find, if you shop somewhere that caters to vegetarians at all.

      If you don’t eat cheese, replacing the Parmesan with half-and-half nutritional yeast and ground almonds — mix together first, and mix in any other dry seasonings you’re using before dusting or dredgingthe carrot batons — gives a similar boost of umami and texture.

    I’ve never used the multi color carrots, but wondered if they cook up the same as regular carrots. Thought it’d be pretty on the plate. Going to give this recipe a try. Thank you.

    I followed this recipe to a T. While these are very tasty, they came out limp. Did I cook them too long or are they supposed to come out that way? Thank you for your response.

      They are not going to be super stiff but they should also not be too limp. It sounds like they could have come out of the oven a little sooner.

      That is a chipotle-mayo dipping sauce; 1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped, mixed into 1/4 cup mayo. Another good one is 1 tablespoon gochujang mixed into 1/4 cup mayo!

    I did change this up a bit to start….I blanched the whole peeled carrots til almost knife tip tender, and then sliced them which made it easy by hand. I omitted the cheese for this time and tossed them with 1 pressed garlic clove, kosher salt and olive oil. I used a convection oven which dried them out, making them very sweet and crisped them up. They were tasty and a bit hit. Thanks. Will try with cheese also.
