Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3–4 fresh, firm carrots
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Seasonings

  • Paprika, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Chili flakes, a pinch
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper, for spicy boost
  • Dried rosemary, thyme, or oregano, for herb infusion
  • Dash of cinnamon and a bit of sugar, for sweet cinnamon variation
  • Grated parmesan cheese, for parmesan touch (add after baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots thoroughly. Slice them as thinly as possible, ideally using a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness which ensures quick and even crisping.
  2. Season the Slices: Place the carrot slices in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, ground black pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer. Toss gently to coat every slice evenly.
  3. Cook the Chips: Arrange the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or an air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook at 425°F (220°C) for about 3 minutes, turning the slices once halfway through to promote even crisping.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips once they are crispy and golden. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack, which helps retain their crunch before serving. Optionally, sprinkle grated parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer to achieve consistent thin slices for uniform cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet or air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and crispiness.
  • Select fresh, firm carrots with bright orange color for best texture and natural sweetness.
  • Cooking at high temperature seals in crispiness quickly; watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Allow chips to cool completely on a rack to maintain crunchiness longer.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; avoid refrigeration.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer for 1-2 minutes to restore crispness before serving.
