Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Carrot Chips are a healthy and easy snack or side dish made by air frying thinly sliced carrots with a blend of aromatic spices. This recipe offers a delicious alternative to traditional chips with a perfect balance of smokiness, garlic, and onion flavors, all prepared quickly in an air fryer for a guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Carrots

  • 1 pound carrot chips or sliced carrots (about 45 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick)

Seasonings

  • Olive oil spray, as needed
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the carrots: Peel and slice the carrots into chips about 1/4 inch thick if not using pre-cut carrot chips. Pat the slices dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
  3. Season the carrots: Place the dried carrot chips in a large mixing bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil to help the seasonings stick and aid in crispiness.
  4. Add spices: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) over the carrots. Toss the mixture well until all chips are evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
  5. Arrange in the air fryer basket: Spread the seasoned carrot chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even air circulation and cooking.
  6. Air fry the chips: Cook the carrot chips at 375°F for 10-12 minutes. Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking to promote uniform crispiness.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the carrot chips once they are crisp and golden. Serve immediately as a healthy snack or side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the carrot slices are as evenly thin as possible and pat them dry before seasoning.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer’s model and the thickness of your carrot slices.
  • You can omit smoked paprika for a milder flavor or replace it with cayenne pepper for some heat.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and re-crisp in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
