If carrots happen to be one of your favorite veggies, it’s time to bake a delicious snack that will satisfy your cravings for chips. Carrot chips are a crispy delight that you can make with just five basic ingredients and we’re here to show you how.
Ingredients (4 servings):
- 1 pound of carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions:
- While preheating the oven to 450 degrees F, line a baking sheet with parchment pepper. You might need several baking sheets for a larger number of carrots.
- Thinly slice the carrots using a chef’s knife, vegetable peeler, or mandolin slicer. Keep the slices at around ¼-inch thick for extra crispiness.
- Put sliced carrots in a large bowl, add the oil, spices, salt, and pepper inside and toss them all together to thoroughly coat your carrots.
- Line the carrot slices in one layer on the baking sheet and bake for around 15-20 minutes, until your chips are brown and crispy. Flip the carrots and bake them for another 5 minutes on the other side.
- Serve carrot chips with a dip of your choice, such as hummus, ranch, or sour cream dip.
