Baked Carrot Fries

​Many of us follow low carb diets, but that doesn't mean that we don't want the occasional treat I rarely eat potatoes, but its nice to know that if I fancy a big bowl of fries there will be a healthy yet equally delicious alternative that I can turn to.

Carrots have all kinds of benefits to your skin health . These fries also get a boost from curry powder; the main ingredient in curry powder is turmeric, an anti-inflammatory superstar. Because emerging research suggests that inflammation is the root of many diseases, it’s beneficial to incorporate turmeric into your meals whenever you can. Coriander, another spice found in curry powder, has antibacterial properties that keep your immune system humming.
