Carrot and Sweet Potato Oven Fries recipe from Pati's Mexican Table Season 5, Episode 6 “Ancient Yucatán with my Boys”
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick coins
- 1 sweet potato peeled, quartered, and sliced, into 1/4-inch thick triangles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
- 2 dried chiles de arbol, thinly sliced
To Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, put the rack in the top third position.
- Place carrots and sweet potatoes on baking sheet and toss with oil, salt and chiles.
- Spread into a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes until crisply and lightly browned, turning vegetables halfway through. Sprinkle with more salt to taste if needed. Serve right away.
Could you do this with any veggie? I don’t like chiles so I would leave them out but my sister & I have bought what look like freeze dried veggies at a fair & I always wondered how they made them. They just had salt & the veggies. I loved them! Thanks for this! I have some organic carrots I would love to try this with but I’m not a sweet potato fan. I’d like to try green beans which I have had also & maybe peas. Would it work the same?
Go ahead and give it a try Gail. I think zucchini would be pretty good as well!
