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!

Ingredients

Carrot Fries

  • 6 large carrots

  • 1 and 1/2 – 2 tablespoons olive or walnut oil

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • scant 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

  • 3 tablespoons ground almonds

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Prepare the Carrot Fries

1.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

2.

Cut carrots in half widthwise, and cut each half into quarters. (Each carrot makes eight fries.) Put them into a medium-sized bowl.

3.

Add the oil, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

4.

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.

5.

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

1.

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Yes, the quarter is lengthwise so they would be very thin.
