T = tablespoons

T = teaspoons

Ingredients

• 6 large carrots
• 2 T avocado oil and 1 t, divided
• 1 T ground flaxseed
• 3 T Everything But The Bagel Sesame Dressing (find at Trader Joe’s)
• 1 bulb of garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 avocado
• ¼ t salt

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine 2 T avocado oil with ground flax in a small bowl, stir well, and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Wash and dry carrots well. Cut into even-sized sticks, then put them into the bowl with the flax and oil. Toss to coat, then add the seasoning and toss again until well coated.
• Cut the top off the bulb of garlic and drizzle with remaining 1 t of oil, rubbing it all over. Cover with parchment paper then wrap with tin foil.
• Evenly spread carrot fries onto a baking sheet so they don’t touch. Add the wrapped garlic to the side of the pan and bake for 12 mins.
• Turn each fry and bake for an additional 12 mins, or until they’re golden and the garlic feels soft.
• Turn off the oven but leave the fries inside while you make the aioli.
• Unwrap the garlic and add it to your blender with coconut milk, avocado, lemon juice and salt. Blend well until creamy.
• Serve the Aioli with the warm fries and enjoy.
