Recipe – Easy Roasted Carrots Chips

Did you know that if you eat too many carrots, you’ll look like an oompa loompa?  Okay, that’s a lie.  But carrots are wonderful!

  • They give you fiber.
  • They might not be orange.  They can be purple, red, white or yellow.
  • Bugs Bunny loves them and who doesn’t want to love what he loves?!
  • They’re wonderful when shredded and made into carrot cake.

But they’re also wonderful when they’re roasted – which is a great way of making them.  It brings out the natural sweetness of the carrot and is just different enough from normal steamed carrots that it doesn’t feel like you’re eating a boring vegetable the same way over and over again.

Roasted Carrots

Ingredients

  • Carrots (of course!) - you can cut carrots into strips, use baby carrots or carrot chips
  • olive oil
  • seasonings - I often use garlic powder, thyme, salt & pepper. I also like crushed red pepper if you want some kick!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Arrange as many carrots as desired on a cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle with olive oil - not too much, you don't want to drown them.
  • Sprinkle with seasonings and mix it all around on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. It'll take a little long if you're using 'thicker' carrots like baby carrots.
  • Serve!
