Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units large carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the carrots into uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the carrots with sea salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Arrange the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is no overlap to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the carrot slices over.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the carrot chips are crispy and lightly browned around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the carrot chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to further crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
