Cumin-Spiked Carrot Fries

These cumin-spiked carrot fries are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional potato fries. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or seasoning.

Carrot fries have been around for centuries, but they've never been as popular as their potato counterparts. That's probably because carrots are naturally sweet, which can make them a bit bland when fried. But by spiking them with cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, we've created a carrot fry that's both flavorful and satisfying. The cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor to the fries, while the paprika gives them a slightly smoky flavor. The garlic powder rounds out the flavors and adds a bit of depth. The result is a carrot fry that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They're perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce or seasoning.
