I awoke craving carrot juice, but due to the blackout, I was forced to settle with these carrot chips, which I can’t complain about… You may deep fry them or season them and bake them in the oven for a crunchy snack.
Carrot fries are sweet, delicious, and simple to make, with a sweet potato flavor. They are so delicious that you can make a batch and have them gone in minutes.
They’re similar to potato chips (fries), which are the ultimate quick snack, especially when combined with a hefty hamburger.
When I was looking through my freezer for frozen potato chips, I got the idea for this recipe.
When I saw that these potatoes could be fried, I thought to myself, “Why not cut up some carrots into little batons and deep fry them?” I have to admit that I am glad I trusted my instincts since the result was great.
