Parmesan Carrot Chips

Ingredients:

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 bag (1 pound) carrot chips (or 4 large carrots, sliced 1/4-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or cumin
• Dash cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

1. Wash hands with warm water and soap, scrubbing at least 20 seconds.

 2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. (Note: You might need two baking sheets to avoid layering the carrots.) 

3. In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder or cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add carrots and toss to coat. 

4. Spread carrots out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and toss to coat all sides. Return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until crispy and slightly browned. 

5. Remove from oven and allow to rest several minutes before serving. 

6. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
