Forget French fries and try these carrot fries for way more antioxidants and fewer calories. They're super easy to make, too.

Ingredients

1 pound of carrots
Cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Before you begin: Wash your hands.

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC).
  2. Peel the carrots and cut them into strips about in ¼-inch thick and a few inches long.
  3. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray and spread the carrots onto it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake 15 minutes. Flip them over and coat them with a bit more cooking spray, salt and pepper; bake another 15 minutes until lightly browned.
