- Spreak carrot fries on to sheet pan without overlapping. If your baking sheet is too crowded use a second baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning them half way through.
- Meanwhile mix the sriracha ingredients in a small bowl. Crop up some parsley (or cilantro).
- When carrots are done, garnish with fresh parsley (or cilantro) and serve with sriracha mayo sauce.
