Ingredients
Carrots
1.5 lbs (Peeled and cut into sticks)
Sugar
1 teaspoon (None)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons (None)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (None)
Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons (Finely chopped)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a shallow baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the tips and ends off the carrots, and then peel each carrot to remove the outer skin.
3
Cut each carrot in half crosswise. Next, slice each half lengthwise into quarters, creating long carrot sticks that mimic the shape of fries.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks with olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, sugar, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Toss the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure each carrot stick is well coated.
5
Spread the seasoned carrot fries in a single layer on the prepared baking pan, making sure they are not overcrowded to maintain crispiness.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the carrot fries are tender and lightly golden. For added crispiness, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
7
Once done, remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
