Want a healthy snack? These carrot crisps are called “Bunny Nibbles” by Tracy Griffith in her new book, Stealth Health Lunches. I would call them carrot chips but whatever you call them they make a tasty treat as a stand alone snack or to accompany lunch or dinner. Carrots are high in fiber, vitamin A and beta carotene so you will feel good eating these easy to make carrot chips. This Carrot Crisps Recipe makes about 30–40 long carrot chips.

How To Make Carrot Crisps
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F/107 degrees C.
With a Y-shaped vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into thin, even slices.
Place the carrot strips in a medium bowl, add the oil and salt to taste, and toss with your hands until thoroughly coated.
