{ Carrot Fries with Truffle Mayo }

Here it is! The much anticipated carrot fries recipe. When we put it out to you all on social media (asking what recipe you would like next) this is the one you requested, and it is oh so good. Yet another way to enjoy those delicious garden carrots we all love, as crispy baked fries. This recipe can also be used with parsnips or sweet potatoes– yes please!

Then there’s the truffle mayo dip, which takes it all to the next level, let me tell you. If you don’t have the truffle oil to make your own, you can always purchase truffle mayonnaise (pre-made) from your local specialty store, but we are big fans of making it ourselves. See below for all the details.

Local food blogger Jessica Musslewhite, you nailed it again with this one. Thank you for creating this delish recipe for our CSA members (and all you folks who follow along on the blog). These are a fast favourite, hope you all enjoy!
