Carrots are a lot more than just a crunchy addition to a salad or a healthy excuse to eat ranch dressing. Carrots can also be the centerpiece for tons of creative recipes that transform the root veggie into dishes you could never imagine. Here are 5 carrot-based recipes that turn “What’s up, Doc?” into “What’s up, Chef?”
Vegetarian carrot “hot dogs”
This clever recipe transforms carrot sticks into a flavorful hot dog! After boiling carrot sticks, soak them in a blend of sauces and spices. Fire up the grill and cook the carrots until they get nice and crispy. Then, treat the carrots like you would treat a regular hot dog! Toss one in a bun, and load it up with your favorite condiments and toppings.
Air fryer vegan carrot fries
These crispy carrot fries are super easy to make. All you need is carrots, avocado oil and salt! Combine the salt and oil with the carrots and air fry at 380°F for 18 minutes. You’ll be left with delicious, healthy carrot fries that’ll make you forget that potatoes are even a thing. Dip them in ranch if you’re looking for a creative take on a classic combo.

Vegan carrot “bacon”
There’s nothing like starting your day with the smell of fresh, sizzling carrots! This vegan recipe calls for thinly sliced carrots, which are then seasoned with strong flavors like maple syrup, liquid smoke and soy sauce. Once the strips are seasoned, bake them in the oven for 15 minutes until they’re crispy. For both vegans and non-vegans, carrot bacon is a healthy substitute that’ll satisfy your cravings.
Vegan smoked carrot “salmon”
This carrot smoked salmon looks just as good on a bagel as the real thing. After roasting the carrots, peel them down into thin ribbons. Next, create a bold marinade with olive oil, spices, rice vinegar and lemon juice. Toss the carrots in the marinade, and let it soak in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. If you’re ready to step up your vegan brunch game, you’ll want to “lox” this recipe up as a go-to dish.
Vegetarian carrot burgers
his carrot burger holds its own against any beef or turkey recipe. Create carrot patties by combining shredded carrots with spices, garlic, onions, and crumbled whole wheat flake cereal and bread crumbs. Then bake in the oven until the burgers are golden brown. Once you have your carrot burgers, the options are endless. Throw one on a bun with your favorite toppings and a slice of cheese, or serve them on their own as a tasty appetizer.
Despite its fancy reputation, most French cooking is shockingly simple, understated even, which is what can make it so difficult to master. Besides butter, there’s nothing much to hide behind, and a lot of French dishes hinge on having good ingredients and decent technique. Take this simple grated carrot salad—or “salade de carottes râpées”—for instance.
There are a ton of recipes for this thing online (David Lebovitz’s is my favorite), but they all have the same basic ingredients: carrots, olive oil, lemon, herbs (usually parsley), and maybe a little Dijon. Toss it all together and you have a salad that will jive with any grilled fish, roasted hunk of meat, or simple sandwich. It’s the perfect summer side dish, and its success is determined by whether or not you take the time to grate the carrots yourself.
This is tedious, but not all that hard, and entirely worth it. Pre-shredded carrots are far too dry for this salad—the dressing slides right off the little waxy little shreds. You want your carrots finely and freshly grated, so the simple lemon vinaigrette has something to cling to. A box grater, rotary grater, or the grating attachment to a food processor all get the job done in short order, though I used a hand-held julienne peeler and that worked fine, too. (If julienned carrots strands are too long for your liking, just cut ‘em up with your kitchen shears.)
Once your carrots are shredded, you just have to choose your acid and herbs. Lemon and parsley are traditional, but you can add a little sherry, white wine, or apple cider vinegar, and get some chives and tarragon involved. I tend to stick to the template in the Lebovitz recipe, but I often increase the amount of acid to match to oil. Most recipes tell you that you can make this salad “up to 24 hours in advance,” but I’ve had some in the fridge since Friday evening and it still has a fair amount of crunch.
French Carrot Salad
1 pound of carrots (try purple for extra visual excitement)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or a combination of lemon juice and sherry vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon + a big pinch of white table sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (or a combination of parsley, tarragon, and chives)
Shred the carrots finely and transfer them to a big mixing bowl. Add everything else except the herbs to a small jar or other container with a lid, then shake to emulsify. Add the dressing, little bits at a time, to the carrots until they are “glistening,” but not swimming in dressing. Add the herbs and toss again. Let hang out on the counter for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Just make sure to take it out half an hour or so before serving. This salad is best served room-temp, alongside a freshly-grilled and charred piece of meat or fish.
