Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the carrots and slice them into very thin coins using a sharp knife or a mandoline on the thinnest setting.
- Pat the slices dry on a towel to remove surface moisture.
- Toss the carrot slices with oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings for a light, even coat.
Cooking
- Spread the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer in a preheated air fryer basket at 360°F.
- Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket twice during cooking. Watch closely for the last 2 minutes.
- When the edges are browned and the centers feel firm, remove and let cool for a few minutes to fully crisp.
Notes
If your air fryer runs hot, drop the temperature to 350°F and add a minute. Use a light mesh rack if chips fly around. Let chips cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To revive, air fry at 320°F for 2-3 minutes.
