When preparing to bake your carrot chips, the arrangement on the baking sheet is crucial. Proper spacing prevents the chips from overlapping, which can lead to uneven cooking and sogginess. Lay each carrot slice in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring there is at least a small gap between each piece. This allows hot air to circulate around each chip, promoting even cooking and enhancing their crispiness. For best results, consider using parchment paper to line your baking sheet. Not only does this help prevent sticking, but it also makes for easier cleanup.

Ingredients
  

4 large carrots (peeled and thinly sliced)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare Carrots: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the carrots into thin, uniform chips (about 1/8 inch thick). Thinner slices will yield crispier chips.

      Season the Carrots: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the carrot slices in the mixture until evenly coated.

        Coat with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned carrot slices, ensuring each piece is generously coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the carrot chips out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not overlapping to allow for even cooking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even browning.

              Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up even more. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

                Serve: Enjoy these delightful crispy baked Parmesan carrot chips as a healthy snack or a fun side dish with your favorite dip!
