Ingredients

  • 16 carrots peeled and julienned
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • black pepper to taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the carrot sticks in a large Tupperware bowl that has a tight-fitting lid.
  • Pour oil and remaining ingredients into the bowl, on top of the carrot sticks.
  • Secure the lid and shake the ingredients around vigorously until every last carrot stick is coated with flavor.
  • Place the carrot sticks, in a single layer, on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes. Check the carrot sticks, shake the pan, flip them around, whatever you need to do.
  • Continue to bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, until carrot sticks are soft in the middle but nice and crunchy around the edges. Watch them closely.
