Beetroot fries are a vibrant and tasty twist on the traditional potato fry. They blend the earthy sweetness of beetroot with a touch of aromatic spices, dried herbs, and a light corn flour coating that becomes irresistibly crispy when baked. These fries maintain their shape perfectly and offer a delightful crunch in every bite. They make for a quick, guilt-free snack or a fun side dish.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Wash the beetroot thoroughly under running water. Peel and cut them into even-sized thin slices about ¼ inch long to resemble fries. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Season and rest
Toss the beetroot sticks in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Add a bit of corn flour if you want that extra crispiness. Let them rest for 10 minutes to soak in those tasty flavours.
