Roasted Carrot Chips

Shopping List:

• ½ lb medium size carrots of many colors (you can buy a big bag of mixed, organic carrots for $2)
• 1 tsp ground sumac
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 small lemon
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 5 tsp olive oil
• Roasted hazelnuts (optional)
• Golden raisins (optional)

Now follow these steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degree.
2. Peel carrots and slice diagonally (about ¼“ thick and 2-3” long).
3. Combine in medium bowl salt, coriander, sumac, cumin and olive oil; zest lemon over spices and add olive oil; whisk all the ingredients together, add carrots and toss to coat; set aside for 20 minutes to marinade.
4. On a large, rimmed baking pan spread carrots evenly; roast them in previously preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes (they should shrink and get little browned on the outside, be careful not to burn); let cool.
5. Mix with hazelnuts and raisins and serve as a snack in small serving bowl.

Enjoy.
