I’m always on the lookout for alternatives to carb-laden sides. When I tested this recipe, the fries were gone within minutes. It’s spicy, but not overwhelmingly so, and it has a soft inside with a crispy exterior. You can take it up a notch and serve them with the dipping sauce, but they’re totally awesome on their own, too. Make much more than you estimate you’ll need!

Start Cooking
Prepare the Carrot Fries
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
-
Cut carrots in half widthwise, and cut each half into quarters. (Each carrot makes eight fries.) Put them into a medium-sized bowl.
-
Add the oil, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Spread carrots in a single layer, on a Gefen Parchment-lined baking sheet. There should be enough space between them for them to bake properly and crisp up.
-
Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the fries over, sprinkle lightly with ground almonds, and return to oven for another 10 minutes, until crisp and getting brown.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
-
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
