Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound carrot chips or sliced carrots (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • as needed spray olive oil spray Lightly coat the carrots.
  • 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 but recommended for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice the carrots into chips about 1/4 inch thick and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, lightly spray the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the carrot chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Check for doneness: chips should have browned edges and feel firm to the touch.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the carrot chips and let them cool slightly before snacking.

Notes

For best results, dry the carrots thoroughly to avoid steaming. Don't overcrowd the basket for optimal crispiness. If you have leftovers, store in the fridge but expect some texture loss.
