Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 carrots whole: peeled and chopped into two-inch sticks
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil for drizzling
  • salt + pepper

Instructions
 

  • Gather everything you need and pre heat your oven to 425°F.
  • Wash and peel your carrots.
  • Cut the ends off. Chop carrots into 2 inch skinny sticks. Think of the size of french fries but a little thicker.
  • Spread out on a baking pan that you have lined with parchment paper
  • Drizzle olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix to coat and spread them back out.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes. While they are baking, zest half a lemon and cut it in half.
  • Once the carrots are baked, add in a little squeeze of lemon juice and some zest. Start small, you can always add more but you can’t take away.

Notes

Remember that you can’t take flavor out of anything, but you can always add more in.  Go light with the lemon + lemon zest and add more if you want to.
