Deep Fried Carrot Sticks

Julienned and dusted with ground cayenne pepper
then deep fried to be crispy sweet and hot.
Adding a drizzle of balsamic vinegar makes
these carrot sticks something magical tasting.
I like to dip these in bleu cheese dressing.

Ingredients:
6 fresh carrots, peeled
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red cayenne pepper
oil for deep frying
balsamic vinegar to taste
salt to taste
bleu cheese dressing if desired

Directions:
Preheat deep fry oil to 375 degrees F.
Cut carrots into match stick size.
Place carrots in a bowl with flour, and peppers.
Mix to coat carrots with flour on all sides.
Deep fry carrots in batches until crispy brown
about 5 minutes and remove carrots to drain.
Salt carrot sticks to taste.
