3. Cut each carrot in half and then slice each half down the center. Cut these four segments into spears. How many spears you can get from each will vary depending on the size of your carrots.

5. Place carrots in a bowl, add oil of choice, and stir to evenly coat the carrots. 6. Add spices of choice to oil-coated carrots (I used about 1 tbsp of cinnamon and about 2 tsp of cumin) and stir to evenly distribute.

8. After 10 minutes, rearrange the carrots on the baking sheet and then but them back in the oven for another 8-10 minutes, or until they are satisfyingly crispy.
