Ingredients
– 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
– 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or minced garlic
– Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder
Instructions
1. Start by peeling the carrots and slicing them into thin rounds. You can use a vegetable peeler or a knife to do this. The thinner the slices, the crispier the fry will be.
2. In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced carrots. Stir-fry the carrots for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
3. While the carrots are cooking, prepare the seasoning. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder (or minced garlic), and cumin powder (if using).
4. After the carrots have cooked for 5-7 minutes, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over them. Toss the carrots to ensure they are evenly coated.
5. Continue to cook the carrots for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and the seasoning is well incorporated.
6. Once the carrots are done, remove them from the heat and drain any excess oil on a paper towel. Serve the carrot fry immediately while it’s still hot and crispy.
Pro Tips
– For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar to the seasoning mixture. This will help balance the natural sweetness of the carrots.
– If you prefer a more traditional taste, you can add a few drops of soy sauce to the seasoning mixture for a savory twist.
– For a healthier option, you can use a non-stick pan and reduce the amount of oil used.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious carrot fry as a side dish or a snack. It’s a versatile recipe that can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
