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
Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Preferred sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crisping the carrot chips.
- Toss carrots: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced carrot rounds with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Toss thoroughly until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- 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 baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the carrot chips halfway through to ensure both sides become crispy and golden.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked to a crispy texture, sprinkle the carrot chips with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce for a delightful snack experience.
Notes

- You can customize the seasoning to your taste by adding smoked paprika or cumin.
- These chips are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
