Grilled Carrot Fries with Chipotle Lime Aioli

Recipe by The Gourmet RD

Who doesn't love fries? I think pretty much everyone has a soft spot in their heart for French fries.  I know I do.  Piled high next to a hearty sandwich, burger, coney dog or chicken

Ingredients

• 6 oz plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 chipotle chilies, finely chopped + 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce
• zest and juice of lime
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp honey
• dash coarse salt and ground black pepper
• 2 lbs carrots
• 1 tbsp canola or grapeseed oil
• dash coarse salt and ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped {optional}

Method

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. To make aioli, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, chilies + adobo sauce, lime zest and juice, chili powder and honey. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to use. Wash carrots and cut off the stems. Chop carrots in to fry-shaped pieces of similar size. Drizzle carrots with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place carrot fries on preheated grill against the grates, cooking for 15-20 minutes, turning regularly. Remove carrot fries and drizzle with chipotle aioli and garnish with chopped cilantro.
