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.
