Carrot Snack Sticks

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup carrot, finely shredded
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil ((3-4 tbsp if using regular shredded carrots))

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Combine the first four ingredients and stir to combine.

3. 3

   Using your hands, add the carrots to the flour mixture coating the carrot pieces with flour.

4. 4

   Add the oil and work with your hands to bring the dough together.

5. 5

   (You really have to be patient with working this dough together so that the flour absorbs the oil. If you are concerned that it is not coming together, just add 1 extra teaspoon of oil to the dough and work it with your hands forming a ball until it comes together.)

6. 6

   Form the carrot parmesan dough into a flat rectangular disk and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes then roll out 1/2 inch thick on parchment paper or a dry clean surface.

7. 7

   Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into sticks, 2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide.

8. 8

   Bake on a Silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet for 15-17 minutes.
