Looking for a simple way to add more vegetables to your day? These baked carrot crisps turn an everyday kitchen staple into a deliciously savory snack or side dish.
Roasting brings out the carrots’ natural sweetness, while a touch of olive oil, salt, and pepper gives them lightly crisp edges and plenty of flavor. Carrots are also rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A to support eye health and immune function. With just four ingredients and about 15 minutes in the oven, this easy vegan recipe is a delicious way to get more color and nutrition onto your plate.
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 2 teaspoons olive or coconut oil
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
