    Table9's Notes: I has so many carrots leftover from the carrot ravioli I cooked two nights ago, and the carrot falafel that did not turn out well, so I decided to make "fries" using carrots instead of potatoes...

Serves 4

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. In a large ziploc bag add carrot "fries", olive oil, red pepper, cumin and coconut-crumbs. Combine until carrot "fries" are well coated. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and pour the carrot "fries" onto the sheet. Make sure there is no overlapping.

  3. Place in the oven and cook until carrots are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. I had no problem with the coconut burning, which was my initial concern, but just make sure to watch them toward the 15 minute mark.

  4. Serve with sweet-chili sauce or with drizzle of a lime + freshly chopped cilantro.

They were delish! I added a bit of paprika too just because it was staring at me from the spice cabinet. The fallen bits of coconut that hit the pan and crisped up were awesome too!

Wish my family liked coconut - I might have to make these just for me!

I do not normally like coconut, but the coconut in this recipe is not overwhelming just an accent. I would try it without telling them it was coconut, because if you process the coconut enough it just looks like panko.

Love this idea! The medium shred unsweetened coconut should be pretty perfect as is for this application.
