Are Carrot Fries healthier than potato fries?
We tend to think so! Carrot Fries are super low in carbs as opposed to potatoes which contain extremely high amounts of carbohydrates per serving. Potatoes are super starchy, but carrots are not, and they have great nutritional value.
By eating fries made out of carrots, one is able to get a ton of vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin C, carotenes, antioxidants, fiber, etc. All of those nutrients are super beneficial to proper development and production, and we think you could never get too many vitamins – say hello to great skin, hair, and eyes!
Serving Suggestions
We suggest serving Carrot Fries with your favorite DIY sauce. We created a paprika sauce that tasted simply DIVINE with the carrots, and it was so easy to create! Here’s what you need to make the paprika sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- half of lemon for juice
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- pinch of salt
- tablespoon of ground paprika
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Serve with carrot fries and be prepared to be swept away. To make this sauce vegan, simply buy an egg-free mayonnaise.
Chef’s Tips
Be sure to cut the carrots in half, and then cut the halves in half. Also, make sure your carrots are long enough so they do not shrivel up! We also recommend checking the carrots every 10 minutes while baking to prevent burning.
