For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

For Carrot Chips:

• 200 grams carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Yogurt Dip:

• 100 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh coriander and mint

Procedure:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
