How To Make carrot stix
-
Step 1Heat oven to 350^ and arrange the racks to divide the oven into thirds.
-
Step 2Holding the stem end, shave the carrots lengthwise into thin strips using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler of mandolin. Place the carrot strips in a medium bowl, add the oil, salt, and pepper to taste and toss with your hands until thoroughly coated. -
Step 3Place the strips in a single layer on 2 baking sheets- the strips can be touching but should not overlap.
-
Step 4Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate the pans between the racks. Bake until the edges of the chips are just starting to turn golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Place the baking sheets on wire racks and let the chips cool until crisp, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 5Using your hands, carefully transfer the chips to a serving dish and serve with ranch dressing. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days when making more.
