In place of french-fried potatoes, carrots make a sweet, earthy side that's rich in beta carotene. Use a spiralizer to achieve the perfect shoestring shape.
While you could easily make plain carrot fries, a drizzle of sesame oil plus some white and black sesame seeds make these french fries stand out. Serve them with seared tuna or steak for a delicious meal.

10 large carrots, peeled and spiralized
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fleur de sel

1/4 bunch chives, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Toss the spiralized carrots with the vegetable oil and fleur de sel. Arrange in an even layer on a baking sheet, and roast for 40 minutes, tossing two to three times to ensure even browning.
