Kid-Friendly Recipe: Carrot Fries

Not sure what to do with bigger-than-baby-size carrots? (And not sure how to get your babies to eat them?) Try these delicious carrot fries!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound carrots (or, sweet potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 tsp thyme
• 1/4 tsp salt  

 Directions:

• Slice carrots into 1/2-inch-wide sticks (use crinkle-cutter if available).
• Toss carrots with oil, thyme, and salt.
• Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft, on a parchment paper-lined pan.

For an added kick, use garlic salt instead of salt.

Or, for a version that will really satisfy your kids' sweet tooth, use 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon instead of thyme and salt.
