Why are my carrot chips soggy?

Pat dry the chips with a paper towel to remove excess moisture prior to cooking Also, make sure there is enough space between the chips in the basket for proper air circulation.

Is air frying healthier than deep frying?

Air fried foods typically have less fat and calories compared to deep fried foods, as air frying uses less oil. For instance, traditional fries can have up to 350 calories, whereas air fried fries only have around 175 calories. Deep frying can add up to 75% more fat to your food. So, while carrot chips may taste good when deep fried, it's a less healthy option due to the high fat content.

How do you cut carrot chips?

I used a crinkle cutter but you can easily cut your own using a mandoline or sharp knife. Cut the slices thinly and evenly, but not to the point of being wafer-thin.

Can you oven bake them?

If you don't have an air fryer, you can oven bake your carrot chips instead. Oil and season them and place in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook for 25 minutes in a pre heated oven at 200C/ 400F.

These carrot chips have crispy edges, but are slightly softer in the middle. They don't have the same texture as fried potato chips, but are delicious in their own right! We seriously couldn't stop eating them!
