Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the carrots into even, thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the carrot slices with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled carrot slices, tossing well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 6
Arrange the carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the carrot slices are crisp and slightly browned. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the carrot chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to crisp up further.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
