Ingredients
Scale
4 Fresh carrots
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure that your fries turn out crispy.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into thin, fry-like strips, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Combine the carrot strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Toss until the carrots are well coated.
Spread the seasoned carrot fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrot fries are tender and golden brown.
Mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy to prepare the aioli.
Remove the carrot fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the paprika garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, feel free to experiment with spices or offer variations like ranch or tzatziki for dipping.
