Carrot Chips
(click on image to enlarge)
about a 1/2 gallon or more bag full...
Light, crispy carrot chips that can be served with your favorite dip or salsa, or just plain. The recipe was inspired by a very similar recipe for corn chips from Frederic Patenaude. Simple to make and very yummy!
Ingredients
- 4 cups raw carrots, finely chopped or shredded
- ½ cup flax seed, ground
- ¼ cup hemp seed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup purified water, (It may require a little more)
Preparation
Grind carrots in food processor to a smooth pulp consistency. Remove pulp and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix very well. (You may need to increase the water content slighlty). Spread mixture onto teflex about 1/4” thick or so. You want them to be thin enough to be crispy, but thick enough to hold their shape once dehydrated. Dehydrate for approximately 8-12 hours or more, depending upon desired texture of chip. Enjoy!

I can’t find them close by either. I was thinking about sesame or chia. I haven’t used hemp seed, so I don’t know what would substitute the best. Any ideas?

any other seed would be fine. sesame would probably be most similar i’d imagine.

i’m only guessing of course… =) (when i use hemp it just adds another taste)

hemp seeds have that great soft texture too… but it seems like sesame would work in this recipe… or maybe sunflower…

mandelicious- that’s true. they are also similar to pine nuts, so that might be a good sub.

Hemp seeds are not necessary. They just add more health benefits and flavor, but you can certainly make the chips without it.

Sesame or chia are good subs, even additional flax seeds not grounded could be a good replacement.

Is that a half-cup of ground flax-seed or a half-cup of flaxseed, then grind it?
