Ingredients:

5-6 large carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste

Instructions:

Preparation (15 minutes): Thinly slice the carrots into rounds or strips using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife for uniform thickness.

Seasoning (5 minutes): In a bowl, combine the olive oil, honey or maple syrup, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Toss the carrot slices in this mixture until evenly coated.

Dehydrating (6-8 hours): Spread the seasoned carrot slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Set your dehydrator to 125°F (52°C). Dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours, or until the carrot chips are crispy.

Cooling and Storage (30 minutes): Let the carrot chips cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
