Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound carrot chips or sliced carrots (about 1/4 inch thick) Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
  • Olive oil spray As needed to coat carrots.
Spices
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) Adds a smoky flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel the carrots and slice them into roughly 1/4-inch-thick chips.
  3. Pat the carrot slices dry on paper towels to remove surface moisture.
  4. Put the dried carrot chips in a large bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil.
  5. Toss to coat the carrot chips evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the carrots.
  7. Toss again until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the carrot chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Check the doneness visually, looking for golden-brown, blistered edges.
  4. Remove the chips carefully and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refrigeration to maintain crispness. If reheating, use the air fryer on 350°F for 2-4 minutes.
