Ingredients
Scale
Carrot Chips
- 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced thinly into rounds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
For Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Preferred sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it is hot enough to crisp up the carrot chips during baking.
- Toss carrots: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced carrot rounds with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil mixture.
- Spread carrots: Arrange the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the carrots for 10 to 15 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked to your desired crispness, remove the carrot chips from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, slice the carrots as thinly as possible.
- Keep an eye on the chips during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices or dipping sauces to customize the flavor.
- Allow chips to cool slightly before serving to maximize crunchiness.
