Well, D ate them with ketchup and seemd to like it. I’m not much of a ketchup fan so I couldn’t say for sure. I did think I would make a spicy lite mayo dip for them though the next time. For that, I just use Old Bay Seasoning, Cayenne Pepper, and finely minced garlic mixed into some store-bought lite mayo.

I didn’t put a specific time because it really depends on how thin you cut the “fries”. But I would say you don’t need to check on them for at least 30 minutes. After that, checking every 7-10 minutes should be fine until you get them just the way you want.

I’d hate to keep checking on them (which requires opening my oven) or burn them.

I might start switching it up, depending on how unusual/interesting the featured vegetable is versus how delicious the final dish looks. A “hook” is indeed needed! Thanks for stopping over from tastespotting. :)

The fries do look good. I would second the idea about putting the finished product pictures first, though. I read a lot of food blogs and I think entries need the ‘hook’ of a finished product, like headline in an article.
