    It is almost like sweet potatoes, except they are heartier. I did not have dill so I used a little chili powder and cinnamon sugar. Delicious!

    When baking these you will get a crispier product by making sure you don't overcrowd the sheet pan. Use two sheet pans (cookie sheets) if you want to decrease the cooking time.

    1/2 a cup of butter? Is there something else we can use that would make it come out well? Olive oil? Something else? Looking for different veggie things for my toddler but want to set him on the right path for healthier eating.

    you could use egg whites instead of butter to give them a crunchy outside and soft warm inside :)

    Heather, thank you for your tip! Anonymous, I think you would be fine only using 1/4 cup of butter in this recipe. You could also use just 1/4 cup olive oil or canola oil. For an even healthier version, spray the fries with butter flavored cooking spray. Another tip I wanted to share is to place a baking rack (ie: a cooling rack for cookies) on top of the cookie sheet. Then place your fries on top of the rack. This will help the hot air circulate through and help the fries be slightly more crispy on all sides.

    I used olive oil instead of butter and did not have dill, so I used some thyme and rosemary. Delicious!! My kids, 18 months and 4yrs, loved them!! The only thing I disliked was all the cutting, maybe I can figure out how to make that easier.

    Too many calories when carrots could be fed naturally and not all that added as to calories but when feeding to a child (as you intended) that is the best thing to do. I meant too many calories for me to try like this but sounds yummy!

    used prepackaged cut carrots in fry shape w/ olive oil and salt and pepper on convection setting. They were amazing, will not make potatoes again.

    Great suggestion Anonymous! You could even use baby carrots or carrot 'chips' if the prepackage carrots cut into the fry shape are unavailable and you are short on time.

    I made these in my NuWave oven... other then the fact you can't make enough at a time in there THEY WERE AMAZING... I did them in batches and then put them on a cookie sheet and threw them under the broiler in oven.. still didn't crisp but they toasted up nice and tasty.

    @Jo'Ell- These defiantly have a different texture than classic french fries using fried potatoes. Think more along the lines of sweet potato fries. If you wanted to try these again, one thing that I have done in the past with sweet potato fries is toss the cut sweet potatoes in two to three tablespoons cornstarch before tossing in the oil/butter. The cornstarch helps provide a 'crispier' outside coating to the sweet potatoes when baked. I am sure this cornstarch method would work with these carrot fries too.

    @ Heather, thank you for the cornstarch tip! I will try that next time. I didn't expect them to be exactly like potato fries, but did hope they wouldn't be limp noodles when we picked them up off the plate. ;) thanks again!
