Crispy and flavorful baked carrot chips seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, cumin, and cinnamon. These healthy snacks are easy to prepare and perfect for a guilt-free crunchy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 2 pounds carrots (choose the fattest carrots you can find)

Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line several large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Slice Carrots: Trim the carrot tops off. Starting on the thick end, slice the carrots paper-thin on the bias to create elongated slices. A mandolin slicer on the smallest setting is preferred for even thin slices. Save the thin ends for soup or salad.
  3. Season Carrot Slices: Place the carrot slices in a large bowl. Add olive oil, sea salt, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Toss well to thoroughly coat all slices.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Lay the carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
  5. Bake and Crisp: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to curl and become crisp. Flip the slices over carefully and bake for another 5-8 minutes until the bottoms are crisp.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the chips to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Using a mandolin slicer ensures even thickness and crispiness.
  • Thinner slices will crisp better, so slice as thin as possible.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer spicier or sweeter chips.
  • Store chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Leftover carrot ends can be used in soups or salads to minimize waste.
