Carrot Chips

Ingredients

6 large carrots

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Sea salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. With a Kuhn vegetable peeler, peel carrots so that you remove the outer peel. Continue peeling carrots lengthwise into strips. Place strips into a bowl and toss with the olive oil and ground cinnamon. Place strips onto baking sheets and bake in the oven for approximately 40-50 minutes or until crispy.

Note: Using a Kuhn vegetable peeler is like using a mandoline, but more convenient. The same method of shaving the vegetable to make chips can be used on sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, plantains.

Chips are fun for kids and adults too!
