Crispy Fried Carrot Sticks

"These make a great substitute for French fries. My brother is a renal patient and can't eat potatoes much. You can use a lot more carrots-the ingredients will dredge more than called for. I got this recipe from Southern Living several years ago. It originated from John Fleer of The Inn at Blackberry Farm. Prep time is a guess, I am slow cutting vegetables."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I do not consider myself a great cook. I am an average cook who looks for recipes that taste great so others will think I am a better cook than I am! My family consists of five/six adults, depending on who is home any given day. I like to bake more than anything. My favorite recipes are usually ones I get from someone else or off the internet-my favorite cookbook is one our extended family all did together several years ago. Otherwise I don't get much use from cookbooks. I play piano and enjoy scrapbooking. Unfortunaly I spend too little time at either as I work fulltime.
