    You won’t believe what I used to cook this, Julienned carrots. I bought this pre cut at my local grocery store.

    This makes a great guilt free snack.

    Before frying, make sure to damp the carrots in a paper towel or cloth.  This will make it crispy after frying. Then season with 1 tsp of paprika & 1 tbsp of cornstarch. In a medium pan (I used cast iron skillet) heat up 3 tbsp of coconut oil then add carrots, fry until brown. Add more coconut oil if needed.

    This is very crispy & sweet. It tastes very similar to sweet potatoes. Go ahead and give it a try. Let me know how you like it.

    Ingredients:

    3 cups of Julienne carrots

    1 tsp of paprika

    1 tbsp of cornstarch

    3 – 4 tbsp of coconut oil

    Topping:

    1 tsp of chopped mint for garnish

    1 tsp of sour cream

     

     

     

     

     

  • Baked Portobello Fries

    Baked Portobello Fries

    Happy Fry-yay! Care for any shrooms? I made portobello fries.

    Its pretty simple to make and its a great addition as a side to your burger. This low carb fries has a balanced flavor and the sunflower seeds and mushroom is great combo.  Optional dip would be sour cream or ranch.  If you don’t have any sugar restriction, this will be good with ketchup too.

    Here’s how I made this, you’ll need:

    • 2 portobello mushrooms
    • ⅓ cup almond flour
    • ⅓ unsalted sunflower seeds, ground
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • ½ salt
    • ½ tsp paprika
    • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese *optional
    • 1 large egg or 2 small eggs, beaten
    • ½ tbsp butter, melted * optional
    • 1 medium to large (1 quart) zippered bag

     

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400
    2. Rinse and dry mushrooms. Tip put paper towel and dry mushroom for 5-10 minutes.
      to absorb more water out of the mushroom, I used my cutting board on top of the paper towel & mushroom.
    3. In a blender grind sunflower seeds
    4. Add all dry ingredients in a ziplock bag sunflower seed powder, almond flour, garlic powder, sea salt, paprika parmesan. Close bag and shake around to mix.

    6. Dip a mushroom into the egg mixture and place it into ziplock bag & shake.
    7. Repeat with each mushroom.
    8. Bake for 15-20 minutes Remove, cool only slightly and serve warm. Top with parmesan 🙂
