Carrot Chips with Avocado Ranch Dip

Author: Happy Kids Kitchen

These carrot chips are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. Use different color carrots to make the dish even more fun! Dip lovers, be sure to make the simple Avocado Ranch Dip that pairs perfectly with the Carrot Chips. Yum!

Ingredients

Carrot Chips

• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 5 to 6 large carrots, peeled and trimmed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable, avocado, or olive oil

Avocado Ranch Dip

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt alternative
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon Ranch Salt (from above)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Cut carrots into 1/8-inch rounds. A crinkle cutter makes a fun shape, but if you don’t have one, cutting with a knife works just as well. If your carrots are on the thinner side, cut slices on an angle to create bigger slices.
4. Place carrots in a pile on the center of the sheet pan or in a bowl. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt mixture, and toss to coat. Reserve remaining salt mixture for the Avocado Ranch Dip or another use.
5. Spread carrots out evenly on the pan so none are overlapping. Roast carrots until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, taste for seasoning and sprinkle on more salt if needed. Serve with Avocado Ranch Dip if desired.
6. To make Avocado Ranch Dip: Cut the avocado in half. Using a spoon, scoop avocado flesh into a food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
