Helpful Hints The thinner you slice your carrots, the crispier they will be. Some peelers or mandolins will give you a very thin cut. Reduce cooking time accordingly Zucchini fries are best cut a little 'thicker' to prevent soggy thin pieces. Sweet Potato fries are best cut to average french fry size Remember to toss your fries a few times during cooking to promote even baking Do not over-crowd your cookie sheets. It is best to use two or three sheets instead of one over crowded. You want the air to circulate around your fries as they bake.
