Instructions

Prepare the carrots: Wash thoroughly. Peel if desired. Slice carrots into thin rounds (~1/8 inch or 3 mm thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline for even texture.
Combine ingredients: Place slices in a medium bowl. Drizzle vinegar, starting with 1 tablespoon.
Season with salt: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt evenly over slices and adjust to taste.
Add oil (optional): Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to help coat each slice and enhance flavor.
Toss thoroughly: Use clean hands or a spoon to toss until slices are evenly coated.
Serve immediately: Enjoy raw for a crisp, tangy bite.
To bake or air‑fry (optional):
- Oven method: Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment‑lined sheet. Bake 15–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Air fryer method: Arrange slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air‑fry at 375 °F (190 °C) for 10–15 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes until crisp.

Notes

Slice uniformly using a mandoline or sharp knife for even flavor and crispness.
Start with less vinegar and salt, then adjust to taste to avoid over‑seasoning.
Pat slices dry before baking for extra crispiness.
Watch closely when baking; thin slices can burn quickly at the end.
