Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups canola oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
One 10-ounce bag shredded carrots
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons orange zest

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a medium pot and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels and put it next to the pot. Add the vinegar to a 3-ounce travel spray bottle and set aside.
