Sweet roasted carrot fries covered with crispy parmesan cheese!

Easter is coming up and that has got me thinking about carrots and these parmesan roasted carrot fries are a great way to enjoy carrots! Potato ‘french’ fries are a staple pretty much everywhere, and with good reason, with that crispy outside and silky smooth inside, they are simply irresistible! Sweet potato fries are becoming more popular these days and carrot fries are just as good! Carrots are pretty easy to turn into fries, you just need to get some large ones, peel them and slice them into sticks before frying them! Of course you can deep fry them, and they are amazing deep fried, but you can also roast them, which keeps them a little lighter. When I roast carrot fries I like to season them with salt and pepper and hit of parmesan cheese adds a huge amount of flavour! In addition to just tasting amazing, the parmesan also melts onto the carrot fries and caramelizes getting all nice and crispy and good making the fries even crispier! Carrots are sweet so I like to serve them with a spicy dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or a gochujang ketchup and they are the perfect side for pretty much any meal, especially an Easter dinner!

ingredients

2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 in thick ‘fries’

1 tablespoon oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated

Gently toss the carrot fries in the oil, salt and pepper, sprinkle on the cheese and mix to coat before spreading on them in a single layer on a silicon mat or parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Note: I use a mandolin to easily slice the carrots into fries.

20 Minute Light Lemon Chicken

A quick and easy, light and healthy Chinese style lemon chicken that’s just packed with flavour! The Chinese New Year, or the Lunar New Year, is tomorrow and I have been thinking about one of my favourite Chinese takeout dishes, lemon chicken. Normally this dish consists of crispy breaded chicken pieces in a thick, sweet, lemon sauce that can be served over rice. This is a quick and easy version of that classic dish that’s skips the coating and the frying in oil and instead simply sautés the chicken is a little oil. The lemon sauce ingredients are all mixed together before adding to the pan, so this recipe is as easy as cooking the chicken, adding the sauce and cooking until the sauce thickens! Often lemon chicken is a little too sweet for my tastes so this version uses less sweetener, I like honey but sugar also works well, which creates a pleasant balance of sweet, sour and salty! This lemon chicken comes together in less than 20 minutes so you can steam rice while making it for...

Crispy Baked Onion Rings

Healthy, crispy baked onion rings that are so addictively good and super easy to make! With all of the experimenting that I have been doing with crispy baked vegetable fries lately, such as the eggplant parmesan fries and the portobello mushroom fries , I cannot believe that I did not think of using one of the most obvious vegetables, onions! I mean onion rings are so addictively good and they are the one upgrade that I pretty much always take if it is available when ordering out. My initial thought was to take the same recipe that I had been using for the other vegetables, where I dredge them in flour, dip them in egg and then coat them in panko bread crumbs, and although it worked and they tasted great, it was not all that easy to coat both the insides and outsides of the onion rings with just two eggs! I am all about easy recipes and the first recipe was just not easy enough so I put my thinking cap on and eventually I found myself thinking about fish and chips where the fish i...
