2 tablespoons cold water
½ cup grated organic Parmesan cheese

Half of an organic lime
1-2 tablespoons chopped organic cilantro
Optional, for dipping: sour cream, guacamole, salsa
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with
parchment paper.
2. Mix the egg and water in a large bowl. In a separate large
bowl, add the cheese, salt, and pepper and mix to combine.
Note: If you have two medium-to-large bowls that seal, use
them! This makes quick and easy work of the mixing.
3. Place the carrot “fries” into the egg mixture and using
either tongs or clean hands, toss the carrots to thoroughly
coat; if you have a sealable container, put the carrot fries in
and shake vigorously. Remove the carrots and place them
in the bowl with the cheese. Toss vigorously until the carrots
are evenly coated; again, if you are using a sealable container,

guacamole
salsa for
dipping
place the carrots in and shake, shake, shake! Using the tongs, place the
carrots on the baking sheet, separating so they don’t touch.
4. Roast the carrots for 10-15 minutes, turning once. They should be
lightly browned but still a bit crunchy.
5. Place the carrots on a serving dish, sprinkle lightly with the taco
seasoning, add a squirt of lime juice, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve warm with dipping sauces on the side.
