carrot chips

October 7, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

You’ve heard of hash browns? The popular breakfast dish consists of potatoes, browned in a pan, stovetop. This morning I made a variation using large slices of carrots: a sweet beginning to this October week.

INgredients

3-4 carrots

3 Tablespoons sesame oil

a few pinches sea salt (I used Himalayan pink here)

Process  

Trim the ends and remove any tiny hairs from the carrots. Rinse them and slice them into paper-thin ovals.

Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet for about 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the carrot slices.

Brown them on both sides (the thicker the slices, the longer they’ll take to cook, but it should take about 2 minutes on each side); remove from the pan and dredge on a plain (not printed, if possible) brown paper bag.

Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

I’m very impressed by all the elements you are able to pack into the lesson without it seeming at all overwhelming: the review, the actual cooking skills, the creativity of coming up with their own dishes, the chance to present their creations, the opportunity to learn about and share thoughts on something else (in last week’s case, the feelings represented in the book), the execution of their  jobs, the responsibility for one’s station/implements and the overall following of directions…..all without losing the fun quotient. No wonder the kids love coming!  You’ve really created something special so kudos to you!
