Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 7 oz shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 large carrots, peeled
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, paprika, and onion powder to taste
Serve with
- Lazy Tzatziki dip
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a 12×17 inch rimmed baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare parmesan layer: Evenly sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the lined baking tray to form a uniform layer which will help create the base for the carrot chips.
- Slice carrots: Slice the peeled carrots into medium thickness coins—neither too thick nor too thin—to ensure they crisp up well during baking.
- Arrange and season: Place the carrot slices on top of the parmesan layer so they are touching but evenly spaced. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle salt, paprika, and onion powder to taste for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake the tray in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges of the carrot chips are mostly brown and the middle is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Allow the carrot chips to cool for a few minutes to firm up, then tear them into individual chips using your hands. Enjoy immediately, ideally paired with a Lazy Tzatziki dip mixed with a little Sriracha if desired.
