Carrot Fries with Garlic and Parmesan, the Accompaniment Par Excellence

The recipe also offers a delicious dip made with Greek yogurt, but the fries can also be eaten plain, simply with an extra sprinkle of parmesan or another dip of your choice.

Ingredients

• 2 large carrots
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil
• ¼ cup (25 g) finely grated parmesan
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) garlic powder (not to be confused with garlic salt)

• Dip
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) plain Greek yogurt

4. In a large bowl, place all the carrot sticks.
5. Pour all the other ingredients (except the ingredients to make the dip) over the carrot sticks.
6. Mix everything well, so as to coat the carrots with spices and parmesan.
7. Spread the carrots on a baking sheet, arranging them in an even layer.
