Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Wash, peel carrots into wide, thick strips using a vegetable peeler or mandolin.
Mix all ingredients except salt into a large, flat bowl (a glass storage container works great).
Lay the carrot strips into the dish with the marinade. Use a pastry brush to ensure all strips are coated in the marinade. Let soak 15 – 30 minutes
Lay marinated carrot strips on a baking rack over a lined baking tray.
Cook for 5-8 minutes at 350°F. Flip then cook 5-6 minutes more until they are wavy and golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the cooling rack. The carrots will continue to crisp as they cool.
That's it! Enjoy!
