Carrot French Fries with Creamy Horseradish Dip

There’s something about french fries that are just irresistible. But, if you’re on a low-carb diet, they could erase a lot of hard work. 

Enter: Carrot french fries. With the right combination of seasonings and a delicious dipping sauce, you won’t even be thinking about potatoes. 

This sauce uses a homemade mayonnaise, so you control exactly what goes into it and tailor it specifically to your taste buds. My favorite ingredient in this dipping sauce is Paleovalley Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder. It doesn’t alter the taste, but gives you a healthy dose of collagen which can contribute to healthy hair, skin, and nails! 

Plus, thanks to the fact that it's practically tasteless, you can add it to virtually any recipe! I like adding it to soups, stews, and baked goods. Or, you can even add a scoop to hot water and sip on it throughout the day to keep you full and give your skin a youthful glow. 

Carrot French Fries with Creamy Horseradish Dip

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 lb carrots, cut into thin sticks, lengthwise

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 teaspoon cumin

• 2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• ½ teaspoon ginger

• Fresh herbs for garnish

Creamy Horseradish Dip Ingredients:

• 1 scoop Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein

• ½ cup paleo mayo (below)

• 1 tablespoon ketchup

• 1 tablespoon horseradish

• 1 tablespoon mustard

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Healthy Mayo Ingredients:

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

• 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

• 1 cup avocado or olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425ºF. Wash and slice each carrot in half down the center, then slice each half into thin sticks, like fries. Toss the carrot sticks with oil, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, ginger, cayenne, and salt. Place evenly on a baking sheet and let bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’ve reached the crispiness you desire.

Step 2: While the carrots are cooking, prep the mayo. Crack an egg into a large glass jar that is wide enough for an immersion blender to fit. Add the mustard, vinegar, and salt into the jar. Do not stir yet. Add the oil on top, then carefully submerge your immersion blender to the bottom layer of the jar where the egg is (this ensures the mixture blends without the herbs flying onto the walls of the glass). Blend for 20 seconds without moving the blender, until the contents have turned white. Now, slowly move the blender up and down to incorporate the oil, until a thick mayo forms. Set aside. 

Step 3: Prep the dipping sauce for your carrots by adding all ingredients to a large bowl: bone broth powder, mayo, ketchup, horseradish, mustard, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, and sea salt, and whisk until thoroughly combined. 

Step 4:  Place the dip in a serving bowl and remove the carrot fries when finished. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve!
