4-Ingredient Crispy Baked Carrot Chips: A Healthy and Flavorful Snack

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Carrots:

   • Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. For the best results, you can use a mandolin slicer to ensure uniform thickness.

   • The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be!

3. Season the Carrots:

   • In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure each slice is coated evenly.

4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet:

   • Lay the carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Try to avoid overlapping the slices for even crisping.

5. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the carrot chips halfway through for even cooking. Keep an eye on them after the 20-minute mark, as they can burn quickly.

   • The chips are done when they’re golden and crispy.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up even more as they cool.

Tips:

• You can add other seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes for a flavor twist.

• If you want to make the chips extra crispy, you can cook them in batches or reduce the thickness of the slices even more.

• For a slightly sweeter flavor, drizzle the carrot chips with a bit of honey or maple syrup after baking.

These crispy carrot chips are a perfect healthy snack to enjoy anytime! Enjoy the crunch! 🥕🍽️
