Carrot Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 large carrots, peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the Carrots: Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the carrots into very thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure they crisp up evenly.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder (if using) until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, then flip the carrot slices and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly toward the end.
- Cool and Serve: Let the carrot chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to become fully crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy these crunchy, flavorful Carrot Chips as a healthy snack or side dish!
