Ingredients

Method
-
Prepare the carrots.
Wash the carrots thoroughly under running water. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Then, cut the carrots into sticks approximately 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick. This size makes them easy to dip and eat.
Tip: If you want uniform sticks, slice the carrot lengthwise into flat slabs first, then cut into sticks. -
Portion the guacamole.
Measure 1/4 cup of guacamole using a measuring cup. If using store-bought guacamole, stir it gently to ensure even consistency. If making your own, prepare it fresh with ripe avocados, lime juice, salt, and optional ingredients like onion or cilantro.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of chili powder or fresh cilantro on top of the guacamole. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the carrot sticks on a plate or in a bowl. Place the guacamole in a small serving dish beside the carrots. Dip the carrot sticks into the guacamole and enjoy this healthy, crunchy, creamy snack.
Tip: Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, firm carrots for the best crunch.
- If you prefer, chill the guacamole before serving to enhance its flavor.
