An Entire Serving of “Fries” for 133 Calories
August 26, 2013 15 Comments
Snack Girl can hear you all. Those aren’t fries, those are carrots!

These, my dear readers, are “carrot fries” and they pack a wollop of flavor and vitamin A (758% of your daily value!!).
I found myself making these because I had too many carrots in my fridge. I peeled the carrots and sliced them as thinly as I could without taking off any of my fingers. As I was working, I ate some of the crunchy fresh carrots.
After roasting them, I found the carrot flavor to be intense. These were like “super carrots” and I couldn’t stop eating them.
Non-stop carrot eating, as we all know, has taken down entire civilizations. I’m looking at you, Rome.
Fries are very hard to stop eating, so why not make them with another root vegetable?
The photo above is not of the entire serving. My serving size here is 8 ounces - half a pound of carrots! This photo is representative of about 1/4 of a serving.
Give these a try and let me know what you think.
