AIP Crispy Carrot Fries are the perfect snack or side dish for bunless burger night!
Get ready to dip these in your favorite Autoimmune Protocol, Paleo, or Whole30 sauce! I am hoping you’ll be as obsessed as I am with these carrot fries once you try them. They are so good…and so good for you!
Since this recipe doesn’t call for traditional white potatoes, these fries are nightshade-free and anti-inflammatory. They’re also gluten-free, seed-free, grain-free, and nut-free.

These are so good dipped in one of the AIP sauces in this KC Natural Bundle. Take your pick from compliant honey “Dijon,” ketchup, or BBQ sauce.
Or you could make a batch of this AIP Ranch Dip from my friend Rebecca, author of the blog Lichen Paleo Loving AIP! (It’s Whole30, too!)
I’ve found that I don’t overdo it when I eat these fries. They are satisfying enough that I don’t feel the need to eat the whole batch (like I would’ve back in the day with fries made from white potatoes).
These are a great slow-burning carbohydrate option to round out your Paleo Autoimmune Protocol meals. Add a bunless burger and some cucumber garlic salad and you’ll have a great low-sugar plate that’s balanced with carbs, protein, and green veggies!
Should You Use Starch?
The arrowroot starch (or tapioca starch) helps to create a layer on the outside of the carrots which creates that crispness we have come to love and expect from a French fry.
If you don’t have any starch, or if you are avoiding white starches for other health reasons, then not to worry! These fries will still be super tasty – but they won’t come out crispy on the outside if you omit the starch.
What Will You Serve These AIP Crispy Carrot Fries With?
Would you enjoy them with a burger, dipped in a delicious dunking sauce, or all on their own?
