- 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp chili powder or adjust to taste
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and preheat for a few minutes.
Prepare the Carrots: Peel and slice the carrots into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Coat the Carrots: Place the carrot slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder, and toss again to ensure the carrots are evenly seasoned.
Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the carrot slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
Cook the Carrot Chips: Air fry the carrot chips at 380°F (193°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes if you want them extra crispy.
Cool and Serve: Once crispy, remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as-is or pair with a dip like hummus or guacamole.
-
Even Slicing: For the crispiest chips, try to slice the carrots evenly. A mandoline slicer can help with consistency.
-
Oil Usage: Use a light coat of oil. Over-oiling the chips will make them greasy and affect the crispiness.
-
Cooking in Batches: If you have a lot of carrot slices, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the basket.
-
Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
