Ingredients
Harissa carrot fries
- 1¼ lb peeled carrots
- ½ tbsp harissa, or to taste (NOTE: Harissa is a spice blend that can vary in heat depending on the brand; you can adjust this amount to taste.)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, cut carrots into ¼ x 3-inch sticks. In a bowl, toss together carrots, harissa, oil, cumin and salt.
2. On 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spread out fries so they are not crowded or overlapping and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove fries from oven and gently toss. Reduce heat to 375°F, switch positions of baking sheets and bake for another 10 minutes until fries are crispy and browning.
3. Remove from oven; season fries with pepper and toss with parsley.
