These carrot fries are very healthy and delicious too. It is always super hit in our home. The kids always ask for more. This is loved equally to the regular potato fries. In this post, I have given the recipe for carrot fries in two ways - baked and fried. While they both are equally tasty, we love the baked version as it is super healthy with minimum oil. They are super easy to make and can be a great alternative to junk food. Serve with carrot tops dal hummus or dip.
April 7 is International Carrot Day. We are celebrating Carrot Day in our #FoodieExtravaganza group. Our host for this month's event is Sneha. Foodie Extravaganza is where we celebrate obscure food holidays by cooking and baking together with the same ingredient or theme each month. Posting day is always the first Wednesday of each month. If you are a blogger and would like to join our group and blog along with us, come join our Facebook page.
