Wow. Who would’ve thought that fried carrot strips with Cajun mayonnaise dipping sauce would be sooooo good? I mean, really good! You have to make these. The carrots come out crunchy, almost like potato chips. All you need then is to dip them into a spicy cool sauce and life is good!

Fried Carrot Strips with Cajun Mayonnaise Dipping Sauce

The fried carrot strips with Cajun mayonnaise dipping sauce taste almost like sweet potatoes, actually. I could see cutting these into thin fries and having them come out fantastically crispy. The dipping sauce is also really good. It pairs up perfectly with the carrots.

Don’t be afraid to fry the carrots until they are very dark. They aren’t burnt even though they may look that way. Any lighter and they will be soggy and soft – not a good combination for dipping!

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just the two of us, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size for both of us. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money.

Also try my spicy cranberry glazed carrots. Like fried? My fried poblano strips are the bomb.
