We make these all. the. time. They are a simple and fun side dish that goes great with barbecue chicken, pork chops, chicken nuggets, burgers or fish. Sometimes I use the same seasoning on sweet potatoes fries. It works just as well.
My friend Alberta made sweet potato fries for me once and she seasoned them with things I had never considered using on baked fries. They were delicious. I was in love. No more Plain Jane fries around here. The best part is they are so tasty my kids don’t even worry about the fact that they are eating carrots and/or sweet potatoes. he he he

A healthy alternative to eating french fries. Feel free to adjust amounts of different seasonings, you really can't mess these up! The corn starch adds just a little more crispy-ness to the fries but can be left out.

Ingredients
- 3-4 potatoes, cut french fry style
- 4-5 large carrots, cut french fry style
- ¼-1/3 cup canola, vegetable or olive oil (amount will depend on how many veggies you cut up. It should be enought that everything is coated and there is still a small amount standing in the bottom of your bowl

- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425

- Add all other ingredients and massage with your hand until every piece is well coated
- Dump onto a large bar pan (a cookie sheet that has edges)

I made these tonight for dinner. YUM!
I am so glad! We love them at our house!
I’m gonna try them tonight. Do you put foil on your cookie sheet??
I don’t use foil on mine, but you can, it would make clean-up a breeze! However, it might be hard to stir them around without tearing the foil.
These look absolutely delicious! I always need simple and easy side dish ideas and this looks just perfect 🙂
Such a great idea, these sound delicious!
I LOVE the idea of using carrots mixed in with the potatoes… the flavor and nutrition are great!
Love this idea! I do baked fried all the time but never thought about adding carrots. So fall!
Oh my, these look so good! They would be perfect for snacking or to serve alongside a pork roast.
Simply love this idea of a mix of root vegetables!
Yum! Such a yummy, kid-friendly (and adult-friendly) side dish! 🙂
Loved the spice mix, I did add more as I like the abundant flavor. I would like to ask, however, that some of them were still not soft enough. Someone mentioned foil paper in the comments, that somehow baked better than its sans counter part. I did bake them for a couple extra minutes. I reckon it’s to do with the different oven settings. Any thoughts on this would be very helpful.
Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m sorry to hear that they weren’t quite done. I would try cutting them smaller next time or cooking them longer or at a higher temperature. So glad that you like the spice flavoring. They are one of our favorite recipes.

Definitely could have been differences in oven. I would suggest adding 10 degrees next time you make them in our oven. Another option would be to cook a little longer. I also like to put them under the broiler for a minute when they are done cooking to get a little more crisp.
This is one of my all-time favorite ways to roast veggies. The spices really take it up a notch. I use it on heirloom carrots and most often on sweet potatoes–it makes the best sweet potato fries! #febgiveaway
I feel the same way! I need to start making these more often, it’s been a while. Thanks for reminding me how much I love them.
