Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

Cut carrots in half widthwise, and cut each half into quarters. (Each carrot makes eight fries.) Put them into a medium-sized bowl.

Add the oil, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Spread carrots in a single layer, on a Gefen Parchment-lined baking sheet. There should be enough space between them for them to bake properly and crisp up.

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the fries over, sprinkle lightly with ground almonds, and return to oven for another 10 minutes, until crisp and getting brown.

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
