INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment pepper.

  2. In a large bowl, toss carrots with coconut oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay on baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. While carrots are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Set aside.
  4. Clean the skillet, but set aside 1-2 tbsp bacon fat.
  5. Return the skillet to heat and cook the ground beef in the leftover bacon fat for 7-8 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink. While cooking, stir in garlic and onion powder. Set aside.
  6. Once the bacon is cool, crumble into pieces.

  7. To make cheese sauce,  combine cauliflower, almond milk, olive oil, nutritional yeast, tumeric, and salt in a food processor. Blend until very smooth, adding additional almond milk as needed.

  8. Top the finished sheet of carrot fries with half of the cheese sauce, setting aside the rest for dipping. Add on bacon crumbles, ground beef, cilantro, and green onions. Enjoy!
