Side Dish Baby Finger Food Carrot Fries for Babies Carrot Fries for Toddlers

Ingredients

4 large carrots
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
a pinch salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (399°F).
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3
Peel the carrots, if desired, especially for babies, to reduce the risk of choking.
4
Cut the carrots into 1/2-inch thick sticks, similar to finger-length fry shapes. For babies, cut them thicker to ensure they are easy to grasp and reduce the choking hazard.
5
In a bowl, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
6
Add garlic powder and smoked paprika, if using, and toss again to distribute the spices evenly.
7
Sprinkle a pinch of salt, if using, over the carrots for added flavor.
8
Spread the carrot sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
9
Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
10
Halfway through the roasting time, flip the carrots to ensure even cooking and browning.
11
Continue roasting until the carrots are soft and golden on the edges. Check if they are easily mashable for babies.
12
Remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
13
Serve the carrot fries warm, allowing them to cool slightly as they rest. They will continue to soften as they cool down.
