What you'll need for crispy baked carrot chips

• CARROTS: Pick fattest carrots you can find to get large slices. Peel off the skin if the skin is rough, otherwise leave it on.
• OLIVE OIL: Use quality olive oil, you will need just 2 tablespoons of olive oil for this amount of chips.
• SALT: Carrots are naturally sweet, so a sprinkle of salt will balance them out.

STEPS FOR MAKING CRISPY CARROT CHIPS:

Start with slicing the carrots. First, rinse the carrots, trim the tops off then using a mandolin slicer, slice them thinly (1mm) at angle (this way you will get longer slices). You can also do this using a sharp knife on a wooden cutting board.

Place the carrot slices in a large bowl and add olive oil. Toss well to coat thoroughly.

You will need to bake this amount in 3 batches. Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with baking paper, then lay the slices in a single layer across the sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges start to curl up, then flip each slice and bake for another 5-6 minutes.

These baked carrot chips are great picnic or late night snack. Enjoy them without any guilt!

Flavouring the chips...

While these chips are delicious with just a sprinkle of salt, you can spice them with a range of spices. They'll taste great spices with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, sweet or smoked paprika, chili powder or any combination of these.
