Carrot Chips

Carrot chips are a healthy and tasty snack, great for those looking for an alternative to classic fried potato chips. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• Carrots, as many as you want
• Extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
• Salt
• Spices to taste (for example, rosemary, thyme, paprika)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Wash and peel the carrots. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin, slice the carrots into thin strips.
3. Place the carrot slices in a bowl and add a little oil. Mix well so that the slices are evenly coated with oil.
4. Arrange the carrot slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they do not overlap.
5. Sprinkle with salt and chosen spices.
6. Bake and cook for about 10-20 minutes or until the edges of the carrots begin to curl up and become crispy. The cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the slices, so I recommend you to monitor the chips closely to prevent them from burning.
7. Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes; they will become even crispier as they cool down.

Tips:

• For an Italian version of carrot chips, you could add a pinch of dried oregano or some chopped sage for an extra hint of flavor.
• Make sure the carrot slices are of the same thickness for even cooking.
• Carrot chips are great to nibble on their own or as sides for main dishes.
• You can vary the spices each time to create different snacks.

Be sure to let the chips cool completely before serving to ensure maximum crispiness. Enjoy your meal!
