Crispy (Baked) Sweet Potato and Carrot Shoestring Fries
So the first question is... do you have a spiralizer yet? (this is the one I use and love)
It takes regular vegetables and turns them into cute little noodles!! And it's a perfect way to get more veggies in your diet. My Creamy Red Pepper Alfredo over Zoodles (a fancy way to say zucchini noodles) was my #1 post last year! People LOVE them!! So when I saw Davida at The Healthy Maven spiralize potatoes (get the recipe), I knew I had to try it with my sweet potato and carrot fry recipe. And, OMG, I'm so glad I did!
Sweet Potato and Carrot Shoestring Fries:
These were devoured in about 2 seconds flat by Dear Hubby and Babycakes. Who knew feeding them vegetables could be so easy?!
These fries are:
healthier because they're baked
crispy + curly
co-mingled, so you can't distinguish which are carrots and which are sweet potatoes
flavorful
perfect dipped in creamy ketchup
fun to eat
These sweet potato and carrot fries are the perfect side dish for these buffalo ranch veggie burgers, a regular burger, these sloppy joes, or seriously... just as a stand-alone afternoon snack!
So, no more lollygagging... it's time to go get a spiralizer and start making veggie noodles!!

Ingredients
1 Sweet Potato (peeled)
4 large carrots
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Cumin
juice from 1/2 a lime
2 tablespoons Ketchup (for dipping)
2 tablespoons Plain greek yogurt (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spiralize (or julienne) the sweet potato and carrots.
Combine the salt, cumin, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the olive oil over the spiralized vegetables. Stir to coat evenly.
Stir in the spices.
Lay the veggies as flat as possible on a large baking sheet. Squeeze lime juice evenly over the top.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, and watching to make sure they don't get too crispy. During the last 5 minutes, I removed the crispiest ones onto a plate, and used tongs to move around the fries so that each could have a turn near the edges.
Combine the ketchup and Greek yogurt to make a creamy dip for the fries!
