Carrot and Sweet Potato Chips

These seriously could not be easier to make and they're healthy and tasty.  So, as Michael Scott would say "win, win, win."  (That's from the episode where Angela ends up wearing her cat poster as a shirt for all you newbs who don't watch the show)


On top is obviously the sweet potato and on the bottom, the carrots.  Ok, so they are both made the same way.   All you do is cut the sweet potato and carrots (I used baby carrots and cut them in half, although I'm sure it would be better to just use the large carrots and cut them in sticks), toss them with some olive oil + salt + pepper + whatever other spices your heart desires (oregano is always good).  

Next, lay them flat on a baking sheet.  This is important because if they are not flat they will not cook properly.  

Pop them in the oven at 350/400 for about 20 minutes.  Flip them over and cook until the other side is  golden brown and crispy.  Warning: the sweet potatoes will take longer to cook.  

These are perfect as a snack or a side dish.  I dipped my carrots in dijon mustard and I usually eat the sweet potato plain, but I'm sure it's good with some sweet chili sauce as well.  Enjoy!

Also, I started watching Luther and Oh em g, it's amazing!  I really liked Dexter and this show is like a grown up version of that.  I don't mean like R-rated, you little nasty nasty (Raven - That's So Raven), I just mean it's a little more dramatic and intense.  Check it out and try it while eating these "chips" because it will obviously make it even better.
