Sweet cinnamon carrot sticks
5-Ingredient cinnamon carrot fries are a sweet twist on traditional baked fries. The carrots can be served as a side, a relish or an appetizer!
Carrots are so versatile. They can be eaten raw, roasted, fried, mashed or even baked in a cake! Whether sweet or savory, you can transform them to fit your taste buds.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy carrots is cut and baked as fries! I love simple side dishes to go with a quick lunch or dinner, and this recipe fits the bill.
If you’re making burgers or chicken strips, you may want fries on the side as well. Cinnamon carrot fries are perfect if you’re craving something a little sweeter than your average fry. Baked with a little coconut flour, the carrots hold up in the oven. You won’t be left with soggy, flimsy fries.
