more greens, please

Vegetable chip lovers, this post is for you. And for all those veggie-chip haters out there, I urge you to reconsider your standpoint, because these carrot chips are awesome. Well…actually, the chips are just your standard, simple, healthy carrot chips.  But, keep reading.

This recipe is awesome because of the healthy, rosemary, non-fat yogurt dip I’ve created to go with the chips. Now go chop, roast, and DIP those chips.

  

Carrot chips + healthy, rosemary, non-fat yogurt dip

Serving size: makes enough chips and dip for 2 people

Carrot Chip Ingredients:

4 carrots, medium

olive oil

sea salt

pepper

Rosemary Dip Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil (for the frying pan)

Leaves from 1 small stem rosemary

1 clove garlic, chopped

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

3/4 cup non-fat, plain greek yogurt

1 tbsp agave

½ tsp salt (more to taste)

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash the carrots and then cut them, diagonally, into thin slices.
2. Place the carrot slices into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and then season well with salt and pepper.
3. Place the carrot slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the chips for 25 minutes total, flipping them once halfway through. They should be crisp and a little burnt around the edges when done baking.
5. While the carrots are in the oven, prepare the ingredients for the dip. Once everything is ready, heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium low. Add in the onion, rosemary leaves, and garlic.  Stir occasionally, until the onions have softened (3-5 minutes).
6. When ready, put the herb mixture, yogurt and agave in a blender. Blend for 1 minute. Then, add in the olive oil to firm up the mixture, and blend again until everything appears well-combined.
7. Place the dip into the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.  No one likes a warm dip (ew).
8. When your carrot chips are done baking, sprinkle with a bit more salt, take the dip out of the fridge and enjoy your awe-some, healthy, and green snack.
