Main Ingredients
- 7 oz shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 large carrots, peeled
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Paprika to taste
- Onion powder to taste
Serve with
- Lazy Tzatziki Dip (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a 12×17 inch rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare Parmesan Layer: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese evenly across the prepared baking tray to form a uniform layer.
- Slice Carrots: Slice the peeled carrots into medium thickness coins, ensuring they are not too thick or too thin for even baking.
- Arrange Carrots: Place the carrot coins on top of the parmesan layer, making sure they are touching for a consistent chip texture.
- Season and Oil: Lightly brush the tops of the carrot slices with olive oil and season evenly with salt, paprika, and onion powder according to taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges of the carrots are browned and the middle is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the carrot chips to cool for a few minutes on the tray, then tear into chip-sized pieces with your hands. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with Lazy Tzatziki dip if desired.
Notes
- To enhance flavor, try mixing a little Sriracha sauce into the Lazy Tzatziki dip for a spicy kick.
- Ensure carrot slices are uniform in thickness for even baking and crispiness.
- Use fresh parmesan cheese for best melting and crisp texture.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
