Ingredients

Carrot Fries

1 1/2 pounds large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt, to taste
for topping - fresh cilantro, pepper

Curry Dipping Sauce

1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked and drained*)
1 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut carrots in matchsticks. Peel carrots and cut them into 1/4-1/2 inch matchsticks.
Toss with oil and spices. Add carrots to one of your baking sheets and add oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well to combine. Divide the carrots between two baking sheets, spreading them out evenly so they are not touching and allowing for even airflow.
Bake carrot fries. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes until slightly browned.
While the carrots bake, make your sauce. Place all ingredients into a Vitamix or high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
Enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper and serve with the sauce and enjoy!

Notes

*to soak cashews, place them in a small bowl or jar and fill it with water to cover the cashews. Let sit for 30 minutes to overnight. The longer they sit, the softer they will be and easier to blend. Once soaked and softened, rinse and drain. If you forget to soak your cashews, you can place them in a small bowl, cover water, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until softened. Drained and then use the same.
