This snack is not only crunchy and delicious, but also packed with nutrients. Perfect for a movie night or as a snack after your favorite workout.

Ingredients

For the carrots:

• Fresh carrots, peeled
• Spices to taste (we recommend black pepper, garlic powder, and a touch of cayenne to spice things up)

For the cashew sauce:

• 20g of cashews
• 10g of nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon of spicy paprika
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of oregano

Step by step of the Recipe

• Step 1: Preparing the crunchy carrots

Preheat your oven or air fryer to 180°C. Meanwhile, peel and cut the carrots into sticks. Make sure they're all the same thickness for better cooking. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with your chosen spices until well coated. Place the carrots in the cooking container and cook for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. This technique ensures your air fryer or oven-baked carrot sticks are perfect.

• Step 2: Preparing the cashew sauce

In a food processor or blender, combine the drained cashews, nutritional yeast, hot paprika, turmeric, onion powder, and oregano. Blend until smooth and creamy. The combination of these ingredients not only provides exceptional flavor but also makes this dip an ideal complement to your carrot chips.

• Step 3: Assembly and presentation

Once the carrots are done, remove them and let them cool slightly. Serve your crunchy carrots alongside the cashew sauce on a plate. This presentation is not only visually appealing but also allows you to enjoy the perfect texture of the carrots alongside the richness of the sauce.

These healthy carrot sticks are a great alternative to traditional snacks. Enjoy every bite knowing you're choosing the best for you! If you're interested in exploring more healthy options, we invite you to visit our vegan recipes section where you'll find a wide variety of dishes.
