RECIPE

SPICY CARROT CHIPS

Enjoy eating my Spicy Carrot Chips out-of-hand as a snack, or add to the tops of salads and soups. Believe it or not, they also make a delicious addition to a peanut butter sandwich! Here’s how to make them.

Preheat oven to 400F. Using a mandolin cut four medium carrots into thin ribbons. In a medium bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and stir. Add carrot ribbons and toss to coat. Evenly lay out carrot ribbons in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until crisp and dry, about 15 minutes. Remove and cool before serving.
