Italian cuisine is known for its variety of delicious dishes and carrots in batter are no exception. These crispy breaded carrots are a delicious snack or light starter that both children and adults love.
First peel the carrots, remove the ends and cut into manageable sticks.
500 g carrots
Then sift the flour into a large bowl and add the baking powder. Now slowly pour in the very cold carbonated water, whisking vigorously until a lump-free homogeneous mass is formed.
270 g all-purpose flour, 375 g water, 1 tsp baking powder
Put enough sunflower oil in a large frying pan and heat to about 170°C/340°F. When the oil is hot enough, dip the carrot sticks one at a time into the batter and then place them in the boiling oil to fry for about 2 minutes.
Fry only a few pieces at a time so that the oil temperature does not drop too much. Once they have a nice browning, remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and drain briefly.
Finally, salt to taste and serve immediately hot.Buon appetito!
