Carrot fries with zaatar
Des frites de carotte ou comment manger des légumes de manière simple et ludique, et au passage les faire manger aux enfants les plus récalcitrants ! Non je n’ai pas encore d’enfant récalcitrant à la maison, Mini-Mademoiselle n’a que 14 mois et adore tous les légumes pour l’instant (faites que ça dure, s’il vous plait !!!). Mais ce qu’elle adore par dessus tout c’est manger comme une grande, alors les frites de carotte sont parfaites pour ça, car on peut les manger avec les doigts (non car les frites ça ne se mange jamais, mais alors grand jamais à la fourchette, bonne franquette quand tu nous tient !). I don't know if you know zaatar (well I hope so anyway, because I've been using it around here for a while), it's just a magical seasoning (not in the way of fairies, unicorns, all that, all that eh ?!) and which adapts to everything. But I find it goes particularly well with anything oven roasted !
And as a bonus, as our grandmothers and our mothers said, carrots will make us lovable and it will make our butts pink (don't thank me it's a bonus!) !!!
- 400 g of carrots
- 1 tablespoon of zaatar
- 1 filet d'huile d'olive
- The juice of a quarter of a lemon
- You sell
- Preheat the oven to 180°.
- Scrub the carrots and cut them into sticks.
- Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, zaatar and salt then coat the carrots with this mixture.
- Spread everything on a baking tray.
- Bake 20 min and stir halfway through cooking.

In any case, I ate carrots, I'm not nicer and I don't have pink bottom... :O
Emilie

Pauline
19.11.14Uneducated that I am, I don't know what zaatar is ! I've been following your culinary adventures for a while now so I think this is the first time I've heard about it. ! In any case it looks delicious to me and yes carrots make you lovable and make beautiful pink buttocks, it was my grandmother who told me (and that I will tell my doll later !!)
Emilie
20.11.14Oh but no Pauline, It's me, I should have given a reminder !!! It is a Lebanese spice blend which is composed of sumac, thyme and sesame seeds. Ah these grannies, all the same !!!

Vanessa
20.11.14Bonjour,
We don't peel the carrots ? We do not cook the carrots before ?
Thank you for your response 🙂
Emilie
21.11.14No need to peel them, if we choose them from sustainable agriculture, because a good part of the vitamins are found in the skin. No need to pre-cook them before because they are cut small enough.

20.11.14Lebanese that I am, I thought Zaatar was simply thyme….
