Maple Carrot Fries

by Arielle J on October 16, 2014

These Maple Carrot Fries
are the perfect sweet and healthy side dish
for chicken, fish and meat.

They’re a great alternative to regular fries and sweet potato fries.
They’re super healthy, so simple to make and so delicious!

Adding in sweet vegetables to your diet, like carrots
is a great way to curb your cravings for not-good-for-you sweets.

Not to mention, coconut oil is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial,
so cooking with it is great for post-workout dinners and may help clear up your skin and make it glow from the inside-out!
Your body will definitely love you back for eating these.

Thanks Vita Coco for sending me a jar to taste test! This post was sponsored but all recipes and opinions are my own.
