🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into fry-like strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, toss the carrot fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Make sure the carrots are evenly coated with the spices. Ahh, that's what I'm talking about!
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and melted butter.
- Pour the hot sauce mixture over the carrot fries and toss until well coated. Try not to eat them all right now – I know it's tempting!
- Spread the carrot fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in your air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until the carrots are tender and slightly crispy.
- While the carrots are cooking, prepare the blue cheese dressing. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and adjust the ingredients to your liking. Don't be shy with the blue cheese!
- Remove the carrot fries from the oven or air fryer and let them cool slightly. They should be nice and crispy, but not burnt.
- Serve the buffalo style carrot fries immediately with the blue cheese dressing for dipping. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if desired. Enjoy! I hope they are as good as my grandma's recipe
