Katie Workman’s baked carrot fries are a simple, flavorful twist on a classic side. Carrots cut into French fry shape, tossed with olive oil, seasoned, and roasted until crisp at the edges. They are a healthy, kid-friendly alternative to traditional fries, perfect for weeknight meals, snacks, or a nibble with drinks.
If you think carrot sticks are the only way carrots should show up on your plate, it’s time for a little revolution. My baked carrot fries turn humble carrots into crispy, seasoned, oven-roasted fries that give baked potato fries a run for their money. Simple to pull together and delightful browned at the edge, they make a healthy side dish that kids and adults alike will really love. Ready in minutes, and baked (not fried), they’re an easy way to add more veggies to the day.
If you like sweet potato fries, you’ll love these! Serve carrot fries with Sriracha mayo for an irresistible side.
What's In This Post?
Carrot fries won’t get totally crispy, like Idaho or all-purpose potato fries will. They are more like sweet potato fries, a little bit pliable, but what you sacrifice in crispiness, you get back in flavor and also nutrition. Not kidding—because these are baked, because they use such a small amount of oil, and because carrots are rock stars in terms of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, the word fries suddenly presents itself as a healthy food.

How to Make Carrot Fries
Roasted carrot fries are simple to make. The only ingredients you need are carrots, olive oil, and salt.
- Prep everything: Preheat the oven to 400°F, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray, and cut the carrots into matchsticks.
- Roast: Lay the carrots out on the tray, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and brown in spots.
- Serve hot: While great on their own, these carrot fries are also great with Sriracha Mayo, ketchup, an aioli, or any other dipping sauce.

Carrot Fries
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots (preferably multi-colored; peeled and cut into sticks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt (to taste)
- Sriracha Mayo (to serve)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the carrots on the tray, drizzle with the olive oil, spread them out so they are not touching, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, until browned in spots and tender. These will not crisp up in the way of regular all-purpose potato fries; they will remain a bit soft, more like sweet potato fries.
- Serve hot, on their own, or with Sriracha Mayo or ketchup or an aioli or any other dipping sauce that you've got your eye on.
