Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the wire rack and carrots
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon milk
3 large eggs
4 medium carrots, cut into thin 3-inch batons
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a blender and blend until almost smooth. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the carrot fries: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fit a large baking pan with a wire rack and spray the rack with cooking spray.
  • Mix together the panko, Parmesan, parsley, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a wide shallow bowl. Whisk the milk and eggs together in another shallow bowl.
  • Toss the carrots with the flour. Working with a few carrots at a time, shake off the excess flour, then dip them in the egg. Let the excess egg drip off, then toss them in the panko mixture, patting them so the crumbs adhere. Arrange them on the wire rack in a single layer.
  • Spray the coated carrots thoroughly with cooking spray, then bake until golden brown and crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve the carrot fries with the aioli for dipping.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups canola oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
One 10-ounce bag shredded carrots
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons orange zest

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a medium pot and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels and put it next to the pot. Add the vinegar to a 3-ounce travel spray bottle and set aside.
  • Line another plate with paper towels, put the carrots on the plate and pat with additional paper towels to dry thoroughly. This will prevent the oil from splattering when the carrots are added.
  • Working in batches, fry the carrots until light brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate.
  • Season the carrot fries with salt, sprinkle over the mint and orange zest and spray with a couple of spritzes of cider vinegar.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon fresh mint (about 6 leaves; chopped if mashing by hand)
1/2 cup canned or cooked cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Lightly salted potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor so there is still a little texture to the dip, about 15 seconds, or longer if you prefer a smoother dip. (Alternatively, place the ingredients in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.)
  • Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Serve with potato chips.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm carrots for the best results.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform-sized strips so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the carrot fries with a little oil and seasoning before baking to help them crisp up.
  • Bake the carrot fries at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a shorter amount of time to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Serve the carrot fries with your favorite dipping sauce, such as the lemon-mint dip provided in the recipe.

Conclusion:

They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different seasonings and dipping sauces.
