Carrot Chips - Vegan recipe hero image

You know, there's something so magical about transforming simple vegetables into crispy snacks.

I remember the first time I made these carrot chips – I was trying to find a fun way to use up some carrots that were hanging out in my fridge.

With just a little seasoning and a hot oven, they turned into a delightful treat that had everyone asking for seconds.

They’re not just tasty; they’re also a great way to get those vibrant nutrients into my day!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using organic carrots if I can find them. They tend to be sweeter and more flavorful. You can also experiment with other seasonings like nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor or cayenne pepper if you want some heat!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar - they stay fresh for days, but let’s be real, they usually don’t last that long!
  • If you want a little more crunch, try double-baking them. Just pop them back in the oven for a few minutes after they cool.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll sprinkle a bit of nutritional yeast on them before baking for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll mix in some sliced beets or sweet potatoes for a colorful twist!

Storage & Freezing

Store your leftover carrot chips in an airtight container at room temperature. If they lose their crunch, you can pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to revive them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use baby carrots?

Absolutely! Just slice them thinly like you would regular carrots. They might bake a bit quicker, so keep an eye on them.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is the perfect temperature to get those chips crispy.

  2. 2

    While the oven warms up, slice your carrots thinly. Aim for about 1/8-inch thick; this way, they’ll get nice and crunchy.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Make sure every slice is coated evenly.

  4. 4

    Spread the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them a little space to breathe – this helps them crisp up.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt pretty quickly!

  6. 6

    Once they’re golden and crispy, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.

  7. 7

    Enjoy your carrot chips warm, or store them for later if you can resist!
