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

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is the perfect temperature to get those chips crispy.
- 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
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
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
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
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
Enjoy your carrot chips warm, or store them for later if you can resist!
