Chips can not only be made from potatoes, carrots have a much more intense taste of their own and on the bread roll top of the toaster one has very quickly produced some. Also by the way during breakfast. The best way to enjoy it right away is to taste it fresh.
With this tip, I'll also show you what tasty, practical or decorative by-products of carrot chips production.
ingredients
- 1 carrot
- a little olive oil
- Salt / herbal salt to taste
kitchen appliances
- peeler
- Toaster with bread roll attachment
- small baking sheet with holes or wire net (for example splash guard)
(I have used a flame distributor, which is used to distribute the flame from the gas stove so that you can use pots or casserole dishes made of glass)
preparation
- Carrot brush off thoroughly or wash off
- Remove cabbage or cabbage
- Peel around with the peeler
By-product 1: Broth as a quick pick-me-up
The outer layer, root and cabbage are edible parts of the carrot that do not need to be thrown away before being used. Those who do not like to eat can make a quick broth out of it. Put cabbage and outer layer of a carrot in a cup, pour 200-250 ml of boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Season with a splash of olive oil, if necessary salt and other spices and drink: a wholesome awake in the morning.
preparation
Step 1: Cut the peeled carrot into strips.
The round peeled carrot now with the peeler work only from one side and cut into very thin strips.
So you get chips that are as long as the carrot and to carrot center also getting wider. They can be processed better when toasting.
Byproduct 2: narrow stripes for the school bread / Tigerstulle
The first strips cut off with the peeler are still very narrow. Of course you can also toast them. I prefer to use them as decoration on the school bread. My son wears a fixed brace and has difficulty eating normal carrots because the small chunks always get caught between wire and tooth. Thin strips on the cheese tray are not only delicious, they also look nice and are much easier to eat, even with loose teeth or after a dental surgery.
Byproduct 3: thin strips as decorative salad side dish
A handful of thin carrot strips is also good as a side salad. Looks very decorative (picture 6).
Step 2: Toast the carrot strips on the bread roll attachment of the toaster.
Sprinkle the carrot strips (if necessary with olive oil or brush and) on the wire mesh / perforated plate and toast on the bread roll attachment of the toaster.
After every toast, check if the strips have to be turned or taken down. The resulting carrot chips smell very delicious and you have to master not all eat immediately.
I enjoy the carrot chips pure without further ingredients. Anyone who wants can finally salt to taste or season with herbs.
Step 3: carrot chips in larger quantities
If you have a taste and want to make carrot chips in large quantities, you should do it in the oven. The carrot strips in the oven only in a layer next to each other. Then it is worthwhile to marinate the carrot strips beforehand: to brush with olive oil, a little lemon juice, herbs or with oil and spices.
You have to try out the heat and baking time. Best to stay with it. I have in the convection oven at 150 degrees after 10 minutes already the first finished chips. Then I turned off the oven and let the carrots cool down.
Instead of strips, you can also cut the carrot into cogs or obliquely into ovals and then skewer on toothpicks or shashlik skewers (figs. 7 and 8).
The broad stripes provided the fastest and best chips. Should they be crunchy, they still purr clearly together. But it is worth to wait (picture 10).
