Ready in about 30 minutes, it’s easy to whip them up anytime - whether you want a delicious side dish or an easy snack. These chips are so good! Roasting thinly sliced carrots in olive oil elevates them from a fairly standard veggie into a delicious snack. Even my youngest, the notoriously Picky Eater, likes them. She usually refuses roasted carrots, honey-glazed carrots, and steamed carrots, but she loves dipping these chips in sour cream.
Variations
The best way to vary this recipe is to experiment with different seasonings. Good options include dried thyme, dried oregano, chili powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. You can add ½ teaspoon of any additional spice, but keep the cumin to ¼ teaspoon, as it’s quite potent.
Carrots: Thinly slices, about ¼-inch thick. I’m lazy, so I often use store-bought pre-sliced carrots. Obviously, you could simply slice the carrots yourself. The advantage of slicing them yourself is that you can slice them thinner. The store-bought ones are relatively thick. Olive oil: This is by far my favorite oil to cook with! It’s so delicious. Another tasty option is melted butter. To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. I prefer garlic powder to fresh minced garlic because it coats the carrots more uniformly.
Storing Leftovers
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in a sealed container, for 3-4 days. To crisp them back up, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and reheat them in a 350°F oven for about ten minutes or until heated through. Your first step is to coat the carrot slices with olive oil. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mix to coat. Arrange the slices on two parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheets. Roast the chips in a hot oven until crispy. This should take about 20 minutes in a 450°F oven. Serve immediately.

When I serve them as a side dish, I like to serve them with a main dish I can cook in the same 450°F oven. So, I often serve them with one of the following:
