CAYENNE CARROT AND POTATO FRIES

Cayenne carrot and potato fries recipe from FOX 7 Austin’s Tierra Neubaum

Having a cookout when the weather is nice always requires some good sides. Tierra has a quick and easy recipe that's perfect for your next one.

  • Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Paprika
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt 
  1. Cut potatoes and carrots into long vertical slices (cut carrots a bit thinner than the potatoes so everything cooks evenly)
  2. Coat slices in olive oil then paprika, sea salt & as much cayenne pepper as you can handle
  3. Bake at 400° for 30-40 minutes until the edges start to get crispy (I recommend not using parchment paper so that you get that nice crispiness)
