Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 tablespoon Thai seasoning
Kosher salt
1 pound carrots (about 8), peeled and cut into 4-inch sticks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lime zest plus 1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon Thai seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

For the carrot fries: Position the oven racks to the middle and top positions and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the sweet chili sauce, sriracha, oil, tamarind paste, Thai seasoning and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Put the carrots in the bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast on the middle rack until crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Turn the oven to broil and place the baking sheet on the top rack. Broil the carrots until brown spots appear and the ends become crispy, about 3 minutes.
For the dipping sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, sriracha, Thai seasoing and sweet chili sauce in a small bowl. Transfer to a small ramekin and top with 1 teaspoon of the chives.
Transfer the glazed carrot fries to a platter and top with the bean sprouts, peanuts, remaining chives and cilantro. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
