FRIED CARROT CHIPS

Wow your tastebud with this easy-to-prepare, but yet tantalising fried carrot chips and you'll be glad you did!!! 

Hi dear,

I hope you are enjoying this spectacular platform as much as I am doing? Once again it is my pleasure to share one of my favourite recipes; fried carrot chips! This is indeed a dish that can be enjoyed by anyone including our fellow vegan and vegetarian steemians.

I love carrots so dearly that I can eat them either fresh or convert them into diverse ways for some really good results. The sight of fresh carrots each time I visit the farmers market or grocery shops usually glues me to the vegetable section for a couple of minutes.

Yes, the freshness, colourful appearance and of course the nutritious composition of this special root vegetable are the reasons I will never neglect my carrots. Of course, you wouldn't want to have anything to do with those carrots that are already going halfway soft before purchase as they tend to get spoilt within few days. I usually buy my carrots in large quantity, peel and cut them up into my desired shapes and then store them in the freezer for convenience whenever I need to use them for a quickie meal. My rule of thumb is to inspect the carrots properly before purchasing them since they will be stored up in the freezer for a long time.

I encourage you to inspect your carrots properly before purchase, stay away from slimy carrots, stay away from rubbery soft carrots and finally, don't even get closer to the rotten ones 🤣 

As part of my veggies-adventure, I thought it right to convert some fresh carrots lying around in my kitchen into some appetising fried carrot chips. Despite the fact that it took me some couple of minutes to peel and cut the carrots into my desired shapes, I must attest that all the efforts I invested were not in vain.

Well, I just washed the carrots first, peeled them with a peeler and then cut them up into tiny shapes that have similar appearance like potato chips. This is one thing I love about food blogging - having the opportunity to experiment with whatever you have around. That sense of creativity is what thrills me so much about what I do and I am so happy about it.

One thing I love about carrots is that I can either eat them fresh, steamed, boiled, cooked, fried or even paired with other main meals. When I decided to fry these carrot chips, I knew outrightly that the outcome wouldn't be a bad one at all and I was right. It might sound boring to fry carrots but I can assure you that it is my unique way of being a lil bit adventurous with these cutie root veggies.

The preparation is pretty simple! Once you have the carrots washed, peeled and cut accordingly, then add salt to your taste, toss them and fry them up in a preheated frying oil. Just As Simple As That!!!

But you shouldn't go overboard and add excess salt as that is not good enough for your health.
