CRISPY CARROT FRIES WITH PARSLEY YOGURT DIP
Makes: 2 servings
Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 Carrots
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 Cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Parsley
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions:
For the Carrot Fries:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Trim the ends off the carrots and halve crosswise. Halve the carrots lengthwise, then cut lengthwise again to create equal-size sticks. (It may be necessary to cut them lengthwise in thirds to create the desired size).
In a large bowl, toss together the carrots, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, thyme and black pepper.
Transfer to a baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Bake, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are cooked through and the edges begin to crisp, 18 to 20 minutes.
To Prepare the Dip:
While carrot sticks are baking, make your Parsley Yogurt Dip by mixing the yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Combine until smooth and then refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve carrot fries with dip on the side. Enjoy!
