Coconut oil is actually the only oil I use to cook at high temperatures. Why? Because its molecular structure remains intact at high temperatures. Altering an oil's structure, which heating does, has been proven harmful in numerous studies. The best oils to cook with at medium or high temps are olive oil and coconut oil. If it's in solid form, just warm it lightly before tossing with the fries. You can do this with a hot water bath (submerge the coconut oil jar into hot water), or just by leaving it near your radiator! Enjoy!!! xo Hey Beauty!

Hope you don't mind the silly question, but I just got some coconut oil and have never worked with it before. How do you toss the carrots in the oil, if the oil is solid at room temperature? Do you melt down the oil, first? I really want to make these with the coconut oil but I don't want to mess them up and have hunks of coconut oil on the fries ;) Also, what other uses/recipes do you have for coconut oil? Thanks! :) Hi Gena! Hope you don’t mind the silly question, but I just got some coconut oil and have never worked with it before.
