Ingredients
- 1 carrot
- ½ tsp olive oil (2 mL)
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Using a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the carrot into even chips. Pat the carrot slices firmly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better.
- Coat: Toss the carrot slices in the olive oil until evenly coated. Spread the slices out in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, use a spatula to flip each carrot chip over to ensure even crisping on both sides.
- Cool: Remove the carrot chips from the oven when they are mostly crispy. Let them cool on the tray; they will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
Notes
- Use a mandolin slicer for uniform thin slices to ensure even baking.
- Patting the carrot slices dry is essential to achieving crispiness.
- Keep an eye during baking as thinner slices may crisp faster and thicker ones may take longer.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can experiment with seasoning by adding spices like paprika or garlic powder before baking.
