Ingredients

Vegetable Oil - to taste
Coarse Salt - to taste
Thyme - 0.7 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler to cut it into evenly thin strips, moving along the entire length of the carrot and continuously turning it in a circular motion—this will ensure the carrot ribbons are uniform and of the same length. Place them in a dry bowl.

Step 2

Pour vegetable oil into a deep saucepan, ensuring the bottom is covered by about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 374°F.

Step 3

Combine a few pinches of salt and the crushed thyme leaves in a separate dry bowl, and gently rub them together with your hands.

Step 4

Carefully immerse the carrot strips in the boiling oil in batches and fry for one to two minutes. Then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the golden-brown carrots to paper towels — they should cool for five to seven minutes while the towels absorb any excess oil.
