Equipment

Ingredients

8 large carrots cut into matchsticks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
2 teaspoons paprika smoked

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the carrots, olive oil, and paprika in a mixing bowl or zip-top bag, and toss until coated.
Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until desired tenderness, flipping halfway through.
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. For best results, reheat in the oven.

Notes

TIP: To cut carrots into matchsticks, wash and scrub the carrots with a vegetable brush (peeling is optional). Cut off the ends of the carrots, then slice them in half lengthwise. Lay the carrot halves on their flat sides, and then cut them into thirds, until they are the width of a pencil, then cut the long strips in half so they are the size of French fries. Use this matchstick cut-and-roast method on any of your favorite vegetables—or make a colorful veggie medley with orange and purple carrots and parsnips! Try dipping them in our Easy Tzatziki Sauce.

Babies' kidneys aren’t ready for salt till they’re a year old, and it's best to keep sugar at bay too. Let the natural sweetness of carrots shine through. Need guidance on infant-safe ingredients? Check out our detailed guide on baby food essentials!
