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

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 2 Place the carrot sticks in a large Tupperware bowl that has a tight-fitting lid. 3 Pour oil and remaining ingredients into the bowl, on top of the carrot sticks. 4 Secure the lid and shake the ingredients around vigorously until every last carrot stick is coated with flavor. 5 Place the carrot sticks, in a single layer, on an ungreased cookie sheet. 6 Bake for about 15 minutes. Check the carrot sticks, shake the pan, flip them around, whatever you need to do. 7 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.
