Perfectly seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a touch of sea salt, these carrot chips can be made either in an air fryer or baked in the oven, offering a guilt-free crunchy treat that’s ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Carrot Chips

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) or your oven to 425°F. If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the carrot slices: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced carrots with olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure every slice is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange the slices: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray or spread the carrot slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
  4. Cook the chips: Air fry the carrot slices for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through to promote even cooking. If baking, place the tray in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway to achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the chips to cool slightly outside the cooking device to enhance their crispiness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm for the best crunch and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer to achieve uniform thin slices for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or baking sheet to ensure the chips crisp properly.
  • Let the chips cool for a minute or two after cooking to enhance their crunch.
  • Feel free to experiment by adding different spices or using other root vegetables such as sweet potatoes or parsnips for variety.
