Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
