You probably didn’t know that you can use carrots instead of potatoes for a health-conscious, nutrient-rich substitute for fries. This recipe calls for JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. It doesn’t get better than these Crispy Carrot Fries with Cinnamon Maple Almond Dip.
Carrot Fries:
1 pound Carrots, washed and peeled
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
Cinnamon Maple Almond Dip:
⅓ cup JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter
1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
For the Carrot Fries:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into thin strips.
3. Combine the carrots, oil, and spices in a large bowl and toss to coat.
4. Spread the carrot strips evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, trying not to let them touch (you might need two baking sheets).
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and flip the carrots over.
7. Bake for another 6-8 minutes or until crispy. Cool.
For the Cinnamon Maple Almond Dip:
1. To make the dipping sauce, combine JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter, coconut oil, and cinnamon in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Heat for 30 seconds and stir well.
You didn’t think I’d give you a s’mores recipe without putting my own spin on it did you? This is a classic with a sweet twist. This recipe uses JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in place of the milk-chocolate bar, and real cookie dough instead of crackers. How delicious does that sound? I should warn you though, these can get messy and are addicting. But mostly just addicting.

This recipe needs no introduction, but I’ll write one anyway. There’s so many great things to say about this Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait, it’s one of my kids’ favorites. It includes a bed of rich chocolate pudding, under a layer of coconut whipped cream, and topped with fudgy chocolate brownies. Yum! Did I mention it’s Paleo-friendly? You have to try it for yourself.
If you know anything about me, you know that I love food. I love to cook. Love to eat. The whole shebang. One of my favorites to make for friends is this recipe Chicken with Savory Almond Butter Sauce. I make the sauce with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, sliced mushrooms, and shallots—which are like garlicky onions. It gives it an amazing flavor that everyone at your party is sure to remember.
Remember when your mom would tell you not to eat all the cookie dough? Well, I created these Cookie Dough Protein Balls just so you could! The best part is they’re made with JUSTIN’S® Vanilla Almond Butter and full of protein. So you actually should eat all of these. These are great for kids’ snacks, after a workout, or anytime you pass by them in your kitchen.
The best desserts are made with fresh fruits and simple ingredients. My Strawberry Shortcakes with Dairy-Free Coconut Cream are just that! Made with fresh strawberries, JUSTIN’S® Coconut Almond Butter, and dairy-free coconut cream, this recipe is the perfect treat for any occasion.
My Vanilla Almond Butter is a star in both the cookie part and the filling of Pumpkin Vanilla Almond Snickerdoodlewiches. Sweet creamy vanilla almond butter compliment the pumpkin and snickerdoodle flavors well. Make it a double decker if you are feeling adventurous.
I was fiddling around in the kitchen trying to find a way to make the smoothest smoothie. Some of them came out pretty rough around the edges but I think I’ve finally cracked it. My Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Smoothie is smoother than silk, finer than wine, and packed with JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter. If it was any smoother, you could skip it across a pond.
Have you ever heard of the term “Heaven on Earth”? Well, this is what they meant when they said that. This is a Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake made with JUSTIN’S® organic nut butter cups, brownie mix, fudge sauce, and ice cream. Need I say more?
