These carrots were a waste of time. They were soggy and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my carrots didn't turn out crispy at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These carrots were just okay. They weren't as crispy as I had hoped.

These carrots were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less oil next time.

These shoestring carrots were a hit! They were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and they disappeared quickly. Even my picky kids loved them.
