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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with olive oil to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the carrots with sea salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is no overlap to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the carrot slices over.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
