Baked Carrot Chips
Description
The Baked Carrot Chips recipe starts with thinly sliced carrots tossed in olive oil and seasoned simply with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Baking the slices in a hot oven on parchment-lined sheets crisps them to a golden finish. The garlic powder seasoning uniformly coats the carrots, providing a subtle savory contrast. The recipe notes suggest using pre-sliced carrots for convenience or slicing your own for thinner, crisper chips. Variations include experimenting with spices such as thyme or chili powder, or making a sweet version using butter and maple syrup with cinnamon.
The texture achieved is crispy yet not overly brittle, making them easy to snack on immediately after baking. The recipe recommends removing crisp slices early if some carrots are thicker and need more baking time. These baked carrot chips work well as a light snack or appetizer and can be served alongside your favorite dips.
Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for several days, and reheated in a low oven to regain crispness. The recipe notes provide practical seasoning variation tips and explain that garlic powder offers better coating than fresh garlic. The baking process requires attention to slice thickness and timing for best results.
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrot thinly sliced, ¼-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Spread the carrot slices on paper towels to remove excess water. Transfer them to a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread the carrot slices in one layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake them until browned and crispy, for about 20 minutes.
- If the carrots are not evenly sliced and some slices are still not crispy, remove the crispy ones to a plate and continue baking for about 5 more minutes to crisp up the thicker slices. Watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn.
- Serve immediately, alone or with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Using pre-sliced carrots saves time but results in thicker chips; slicing carrots yourself allows thinner, crisper slices.
- Garlic powder coats the carrots evenly; fresh minced garlic is less uniform.
- Try different seasonings like dried thyme, oregano, chili powder, onion powder, or cumin—use less cumin due to its potency.
- For a sweet variation, use melted butter or ghee with maple syrup and cinnamon instead of savory seasonings.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350°F to crisp them again.
