Ingredients
- 2 large carrots, trimmed, cut into long, thin batons (these should resemble French fries in size and shape)

- 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano
- small pinch cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 250C/220C Fan/Gas 9.
Season the carrot batons with salt.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground almonds, parmesan, oregano and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Arrange the carrot fries in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning during cooking, until tender and golden-brown all over. Serve hot.
