Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut peeled 1 lb carrots into 4 inch long pieces that are no larger than 1/4 inch wide.
Place carrot sticks, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper on the baking sheet. Toss to coat the carrot sticks completely.
Bake carrots at 425F for 25-30 minutes, until carrots are cooked through and crispy on the outside. Flip the carrot fries at about the 15 minute mark.
While the carrot fries are baking, make the sriracha mayo. Stir together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferences.
Serve carrot fries with 1/4 cup fresh parsley and sriracha mayo dip.
Notes
Adjust sriracha to taste: 1 tablespoon for mild, 2 tablespoons for spicy.
Use vegan mayo for a fully plant-based version.
Most mayonnaise is gluten-free, but I have recently seen a version that is not, so be sure to double check if you need it to be gluten-free.
Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 400°F for 5-10 minutes or air fryer for 3-4 minutes to re-crisp.
