I have been working on creating a baked carrot recipe. My goal that I  am trying for is a  French fry or chip like texture that is on the healthy side.  
The original concept took baby carrots and sliced them into strips. I cut them in lengthwise in half. Tossed them with a small amount of olive oil or vegetable oil and baked them.  Each time I increased the cooking temperature at first I started at 325 and am now at 450.  I might try the broiler next.
I was never that happy with the result.
For the last few weeks I have been working with frozen crinkle cut carrots.  I found they became too soft when I defrosted them so I started baking them while still frozen.
This has helped a lot.  I place them on a single layer on a cookie sheet.  Spray them with cooking oil and cook at 450 for 13 min flip them and cook for another 12 min.
.So far this is the best I can get.  Any suggestions?  Would corn meal help? I am trying to keep this as healthy as possible.
I have tried this with frozen zucchini and frozen squash with little luck.  Any ideas?
