I came up with these fun snacks as an alternative to french fries. We like to serve them hot with ranch-style dressing as a dipping sauce.—Kim Gammill, Raymondville, Texas

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1-1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
10 cups shredded carrots
Oil for frying

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Stir in carrots. In a small bowl, combine the remaining salt, cayenne and pepper; set aside.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop spoonfuls of carrot mixture, a few at a time, into oil; cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with reserved seasoning mixture. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.

I just happen to find this recipe when looking for something else on TOH - had a chance to make this over the weekend (football season!) and boy, was it a hit - the men really like them (must be the spices) will be making these a lot during foot ball season!!

great tasting!
