Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large carrots (about 1 pound)
2 large parsnips (about 1 pound)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 teaspoon kosher salt or flaky or coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

Steps:

  • After peeling one of the carrots, use the vegetable peeler to peel away long strips from the whole length of the carrot, allowing the strips to drop into a large bowl. Turn the carrot in your hand about one-quarter turn after every 4 or 5 strips, so you'll generally have strips of similar width and length overall. Do the same with the remaining carrots and the parsnips, both of which have a tough core that should be discarded once you get there (the color tends to change slightly).
  • Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan (the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan). Bring to 375°F over medium heat.
  • While the oil is heating, combine the salt and thyme in a small dish and rub them together between your fingers for a bit to release the aromatics of the thyme.
  • Carefully add a handful of the vegetable strips to the oil and fry until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use the back of a slotted spoon to gently press the strips down into the oil and spread them out a bit to help ensure even cooking. When crisped, lift out the strips and scatter them on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetable strips, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
  • Transfer the chips to a serving bowl, sprinkle the thyme-salt mixture over them, and serve. They will be best served shortly after frying.

These chips are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some parsnips and carrots that were about to go bad, so I made these chips and they turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of parsnips, but I really enjoyed these chips. The carrots and spices helped to balance out the parsnip flavor.

I love that these chips are baked, not fried. It makes them a much healthier snack option, and they're still just as delicious.

These chips were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mandoline to slice the vegetables, which made it quick and easy. The chips were crispy and flavorful, and I loved the dipping sauce.
